Millistak+® Pod Depth Filter

Description

• General description: The Millistak+® Pod Depth Filter 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 Lab Scale Pod format with a X0SP media grade, supports primary and secondary clarification as well as downstream filtration applications.
• Application: Secondary clarification of bioreactor harvests, post centrate harvest
• 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
