Sartorius Sartopure PP3 Filter Capsule 1.2 um Size 5 Case of 5 Filters

Description

Sartorius 5051303P5–00–B Sartopure® PP3 1.2 µm Filter Capsule (Size 5)

The Sartorius 5051303P5–00–B is a versatile, self-contained filter capsule engineered for robust particle reduction and clarification in laboratory and pilot-scale bioprocessing. Featuring the Sartopure® PP3 all-polypropylene fleece media, this 1.2 µm filter provides exceptional dirt-holding capacity and high total throughput. Its heterogeneous depth structure is designed to capture a wide range of particulate sizes, effectively protecting downstream sterilizing-grade filters from premature fouling. The all-polypropylene construction ensures broad chemical compatibility and a very low extractables profile, making it ideal for the filtration of vaccines, viral vectors, ophthalmic solutions, and complex buffers. The Size 5 format is optimized for small-to-medium batch volumes, providing a compact footprint with reliable, scalable performance.

Technical Performance and Design

• All-Polypropylene Construction: Both the filter media and housing are manufactured from high-purity polypropylene, offering excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, and various solvents.

• High Throughput Fleece: The advanced depth fleece material is engineered for high flow rates and low differential pressure, which reduces the total filtration area required and improves process economy.

• Validated Retention: Provides reliable 1.2 µm particle retention even under varying process conditions, ensuring a consistent filtrate quality for downstream stages.

• Low Unspecific Binding: The naturally low-binding characteristics of polypropylene maximize product yield, which is critical when processing high-value proteins or recombinant vaccines.
