Millidisk Cartridge Filters

Description

Millidisk cartridge filters are stacked disc filters designed for the removal of particles and microorganisms from liquids and gases. The stacked disc design allows minimal hold-up volume and particle shedding, making Millidisk filters ideally suited for high-value added applications. All Millidisk filters are made with Durapore PVDF membranes, providing high flow rates and throughputs, low extractables, broad chemical compatibility and the lowest protein binding of any membrane available.

Millidisk filters are available in 0.1 µm, 0.22 µm (hydrophilic and hydrophobic), 0.45 µm and 5.0 µm pore sizes. Four available cartridge sizes allow optimum flexibility for easy scale up and system sizing. Millidisk filters are designed to be used with either Millidisk or Millidisk/Milligard housings.

For traceability and easy identification, each Millidisk filter is labelled with its catalogue number, lot number and serial number. Each unit is 100% integrity tested during manufacturing.

Typical Applications

   • Sterile filtration of parenterals, diagnostics and buffers
   • Sterile filtration of media and biologicals
   • Particle removal (clarification) of high value-added pharmaceuticals
   • Sterile filtration of non-aqueous liquids and gases with the hydrophobic units
