How Membrane Prefilters Enhance Bioprocessing Efficiency

Membrane filters are used extensively in bioprocessing to protect process fluids from microbial and particulate contaminants. Milligard® PES filters contain polyethersulfone (PES) membranes in different pore sizes. In addition to particulate removal, Milligard® PES 1.2/0.2 μm nominal and Milligard® PES 1.2/0.45 μm filters have been validated to reduce bioburden. These gamma-compatible filters are compatible with both steam-in-place and autoclave sterilization methods and are available in both cartridge and capsule formats for maximum flexibility.

Explore studies that highlight the benefits of prefiltration for increasing throughput capacity of sterilizing-grade filters challenged with streams containing a wide range of particle size distributions.
