Sartorius Virosart HF Mid-Scale Module
Overview
The Virosart HF Mid-Scale Module is a high-performance virus filtration unit designed for the removal of small enveloped and non-enveloped viruses from biopharmaceutical feeds. Utilizing a polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membrane, this module is engineered for high-flux performance and robust retention during downstream processing operations.
Highlights
- High-flux hollow fiber PES membrane architecture for optimized processing times.
- Consistent > 4 log reduction value (LRV) for small non-enveloped viruses.
- Mid-scale format designed for seamless transition from process development to clinical production.
- Gamma-compatible construction suitable for single-use technology integration.
