Sartoclean® GF | Mini Cartridge | 0.65µm | Size 9 | 5pc.

The Sartoclean^® family is a cellulose acetate (CA) membrane based prefilter. These filters are optimized for the protection of downstream equipment and Sartobran^® cellulose acetate final filters.

Main Applications

Sartoclean^® GF filters are widely used in the field of pre-filtration of biotechnological manufacturing processes to protect the subsequent downstream process instruments. Typical applications include both bioburden reduction and effective removal of colloids and lipids from:

• Fermentation solutions
• Serum
• Plasma
• Cell culture medium
• Solutions containing colloids and lipids

Benefits

• Highest product yields
• Ultra-low unspecific binding membrane
• More economical process flow
• Increased total throughput performance

Membrane

The heterogeneous double layer CA membrane increases the total throughput performance by having a "built-in pre-filtration", which results in the highest possible total flow, so that a filter change during filtration is avoided.

The membrane is protected by a layer of highly absorbent glass fleece, which adds an adsorptive component to your filtration process.

Flexibility

Sartoclean^® GF filters are available in a wide range of filtration areas from 4.5 cm² up to 1.41 m² and with a variety of commonly used connections to ensure easy integration into your process regardless of batch size.

Scale Up:

Consistent and predictable scale-up and scale-down procedures can be safely performed because all Sartoclean^® GF filter elements are manufactured with the same membrane type, support fleeces and construction materials.

Sterilization

Sartoclean^® GF filters have been developed for sterilization using autoclaving at 134°C | 2bar or in-line-steaming (Only filter cartridges).

Quality:

Every single element is tested for integrity to meet the highest quality requirements.

Documentation:

Sartoclean^® GF filters have been designed, developed and produced in accordance with the ISO 9001 certified quality management system. A validation manual is available in accordance with regulatory requirements.
