OptiScale Capsule Filters for Clarification and Prefiltration Applications

Description

OptiScale capsules are a family of convenient, disposable filters ideal for media selection, process screening and scaling. These "drop-in" filter devices, with a variety of media options, create an effective platform for rapidly evaluating biopharmaceuticals. OptiScale offers speed-to-market strategies for efficiently developing compounds and biotherapeutics.

From benchtop to manufacturing, OptiScale capsules complement Millipore's extensive line of filters. They offer the same selection of media types as Millipore's process scale filters.

Typical Applications

OptiScale capsules are ideal for evaluating media to clarify biological feed streams such as cell cultures, serum, plasma and vaccines containing high levels of colloidal particles.

The capsules are also effective prefilters for fine chemicals and purified water processing.

Benefits

       • Scalable performance for speed-to-market
       • Innovative design offers convenience and efficiency
       • Faster than the 47 mm disc method
       • Disposable, reliable, easy-to-use
       • Choice of media optimizes your process development
       • Peel and stick label for easy tracking

Opticap XL and XLT Disposable Capsule Filters with Polysep II Media
The Polysep™ II media consists of a borosilicate glass layer and a layer of mixed esters of cellulose membrane. The depth of the microfiber filter layer provides high particle loading capacity, and retention of large particulates while maintaining high flow rates. The mixed cellulose ester membrane layer provides the high retention needed during critical prefiltration steps while protecting more expensive downstream filtration devices and equipment.
