Millipore Millistak+ Pod

Millipore Millistak+ Pod

Description

The Millipore Millistak+ Pod is a modular depth filtration system designed for the primary and secondary clarification of biotechnological and pharmaceutical fluids. These filters are used to remove cell debris, lipids, and other colloidal contaminants from cell culture harvests, protecting downstream chromatography and sterile filtration steps. The Pod format provides a scalable solution that allows for easy transition from laboratory-scale process development to full-scale commercial production.

Key Features

• Modular design allows for flexible configuration and easy scale-up within the same technology platform.
• Utilises depth filtration media to provide high dirt-holding capacity and efficient particle removal.
• Self-contained disposable format reduces the risk of cross-contamination and eliminates the need for cleaning validation.
• Optimised for low hold-up volume to maximise product recovery during clarification stages.

Applications

• Primary clarification of mammalian cell culture harvests.
• Secondary clarification to remove residual particulates after centrifugation.
• Removal of lipids and proteins in blood fractionation processes.
• Protection of downstream sterile filters and chromatography columns.

Disclaimer

Users should ensure that the specific media grade and surface area of the chosen Pod variant are compatible with their specific process requirements and fluid characteristics.
