PC3 Depth Filtration Bioprocess Fixture

The depth filtration system is designed to remove large cell particles in the preparation of biological products, such as cell clar- ification (in bioreactor rooms) or intermediate product filtration (in purification rooms). The system mainly consists of a power unit, a cassette holder, a detection unit, and an automatic control unit. The depth filter holder is used to hold deep filtration cassettes of a given area. Under the action of a power pump, the feed liq- uid passes through the cassettes, which intercepts the solid particles in the liquid for clarification. The product is designed to meet the needs for lab-scale research and development, pilot-scale production, and large-scale production. It is suitable for a variety of primary and secondary clarification and filtration applications, including mammalian cell culture media, yeast cul- ture media, E. coli lysate, E. coli renaturation buffer, pharmaceutical intermediates, culture media, plasma proteins, and serum. The vertical depth filter holders (P3C series) are designed to be particularly suitable for biopharmaceutical processes. They are easy to use, work safely and intuitively, and have a small footprint.
