Sartopore® Platinum and Platinum HB Filters: Advanced Filtration Solutions
Sartopore® Platinum sterilizing-grade filters combine low adsorption and rapid wetting to support high product yield and fast setup in biotech workflows. Sartopore® Platinum HB adds a higher bubble points for demanding processes.
Key Features
- Patented Hydrophilization: Permanent surface modification of the PES membrane delivers high wettability and low protein adsorption, reducing flushing needs and helping protect product yield.
- Up To 95% Less Water: Excellent wettability cuts flushing volumes, enabling smaller waste bags and faster setup, especially beneficial for single-use assemblies.
- Elevated Bubble Point: The Sartopore® Platinum HB has a bubble point of at least 4.1 bar, which supports process robustness in challenging conditions and during long or start-stop filtration periods.
- Twinpleat Filtration Area Utilization: Increases effective filtration area per element and reduces footprint, improving throughput without enlarging assemblies.
Applications
In common
- Production of high-value biologicals like monoclonal antibodies
- Final conjugated bulk

Sartopore® Platinum HB
- Processes with long filtration periods
- Processes with frequent start-stop
- Extremely challenging media (surfactant-containing | liposomal | lipid & lipid-like | protein-based)
Benefits
- Reduced Flushing And Water Use: Up to 95% less water minimizes disposal and simplifies single-use handling, supporting faster changeovers and lower utilities.
- Yield Protection: Low protein adsorption helps maintain product recovery for high-value biologics and sensitive formulations.
- Reliable Integrity Testing: Rapid wetting supports consistent integrity tests, reducing retesting effort and downtime in single-use workflows.
- Robust Performance In Challenging Media: Elevated bubble point (HB) and increased effective area help manage surfactant-containing, lipid-like, and protein-based media, and long filtration runs.
- Efficient Scale-Up: Broad format range enables linear transitions from PD to commercial scale in the range of 4.5 cm² up to 3 m², reducing filter count and optimizing footprint.
Sartopore® Platinum and Platinum HB filters offer advanced filtration technology with low adsorption and enhanced hydrophilicity, ensuring high product yield and efficient single-use processes across diverse applications. With their robust design, scalability, and compliance with industry standards, these filters provide significant benefits in terms of process efficiency, cost savings, and product safety.
