Sartorius Virosart Max Minisart
Overview
The Virosart Max Minisart is a small-scale virus prefilter designed for the protection of downstream virus membranes and the optimization of filtration processes. This polyethersulfone (PES) based adsorptive prefilter is engineered to remove protein aggregates and larger contaminants that may cause premature fouling of subsequent virus removal stages.
Highlights
- Adsorptive polyethersulfone (PES) membrane provides high throughput during complex filtration stages.
- Compact Minisart design facilitates easy integration into small-scale laboratory and pilot workflows.
- Optimized for large-scale production protection, specifically targeting protein aggregates and impurities.
- Maintains consistent flux rates to ensure high yields during critical biopharmaceutical processing.
