Millipore Express® SHC filters have an on-board polyethersulfone membrane prefilter which protects the 0.2 μm membrane from premature plugging and extends filtration capacity, so you get sterilizing-grade performance with superior throughput. Millipore Express® SHC filters provide you with a single solution for a range of process fluids, minimizing validation efforts and simplifying filter inventory and stocking requirements. With Millipore Express® SHC filters, you increase productivity, shorten cycle-time and reduce cost.
Filter formats
Millipore Express® SHC filters are offered in a range of filter formats and capsule sizes, and allow easy scale-up of your small volume filtration steps to larger, full-scale filtration processes.
- OptiScale® small-scale disposable capsule filters
- Opticap® XL 150/300/600 small-scale disposable capsule filters with optional filling bell— gamma compatible or presterilized
- Opticap® XL disposable capsule filters— autoclavable, gamma compatible, or presterilized
- Opticap® XLT disposable capsule filters— autoclavable, gamma compatible, or presterilized
- Standard and high area cartridge filters
Benefits
- High capacity, high flux hydrophilic PES membranes
- Validated sterilizing-grade performance
- Easy wetting and integrity testing
- Superior throughput in high fouling streams, including media and protein containing solutions
- Increased capacity for improved process efficiency and economy
- Broad chemical compatibility across a wide pH range (1-14) — caustic compatible
Applications
- Media additives
- Column protection
- Concentrated protein streams
- Cell harvest (post clarification)
- Caustics/pH adjusters
- Buffers
- CIP solution
Fewer filter change outs and extended capacity
Millipore Express ® SHC filters are designed to maximize the capacity of constrained filtration systems. With its high flux and superior dirt holding capacity, you can double your output without significant capital expense (see figures 1 and 2).
