OptiScale Capsule Filters for Aseptic Processing Applications

Description

OptiScale disposable capsule filters provide a convenient small-volume option for process screening and scaling. These “drop in” filters are ideal for evaluating biopharmaceuticals. OptiScale capsule filters offer speed-to-market strategies for efficiently developing compounds and biotherapeutics.

The OptiScale capsule is ideally suited for process development and screening. OptiScale capsules are faster and easier to set-up than conventional 47-mm discs, and completely disposable.

Typical Applications

OptiScale capsules are ideal for filtration of

cell culture media
media additives
small and large volume parenterals
bacterial cell processing
buffer preparations
ophthalmic solutions
plasma proteins, serum
vaccines
pharmaceutical facility water
process intermediates
