0.45µm AseptiCap® KL/KS-γ Small
mdi produces a wide range of Sterilizing grade PES membrane devices to meet filtration requirements of biopharmaceutical processing. These filter devices are validated to meet compendia and regulatory requirements and are well characterized. They meet key process requirements such as high retention efficiency, very high protein recoveries, extremely low extractables, high throughputs, wide chemical compatibility and other important characteristics.
With the advantages of pre-filtration layer built into the device for higher throughputs, linear scalability of filter area for smooth transitions from lab scale to pilot to process scale and widest range of end connections for quick and reliable connections to the existing fittings,mdi AseptiCap KL/KS filters are a universal solution for process filtration.
