Millistak+® HC Pro Pod Depth Filter

Description

• General description: The Millistak+® HC Pro Pod Depth Filter (high capacity synthetic media) is a synthetic depth filter providing a cleaner and more consistent depth filtration media over current diatomaceous earth (DE) and cellulose (CE) based filter offerings. This unit, featured in a Process Scale Pod format with a D0SP media grade, supports primary and secondary clarification as well as downstream filtration applications.
• Application: Primary clarification directly out of the bioreactor
• Features and Benefits: Synthetic materials of constructionReduce TOC extractables and pre-use flush volume requirements by 50%No beta glucans to interfere with limulous amoebocyte lysate (LAL) testing for bacterial endotoxinsLot to lot consistency for successful development and implementation of robust clarification processesDepth filter media formulation & designProvide as much as two times the filtration capacity with equivalent filter retention properties over commercial DE-based benchmarksImproved HCP impurity clearanceDisposable Pod deviceFlexible, modular format offers scalability from 5 to 12,000 liters or moreRobust device format; easy to use and set up
• Specifications: Filter Grade: D0SP
• Preparation Note: Sterilization MethodIntegrity is maintained after 1 autoclave cycle of 60 min @ 123 ºC. Filtration performance may be impacted post autoclave. Recommended for post use decontamination only.
• Analysis Note: Product Water Conductivity at 25°C: after a pure water flush 50 L/m2 (5 liter per ft2) of media surface area (300 LMH, 10 min). At the end of the flush, a sample was pulled for conductivity measurement. Devices were not autoclaved.
