Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB), a leading international supplier for the biopharmaceutical industry, has launched the single- use ultrafilter Sartocon® Slice 50. The new crossflow filter device is designed for use in biotechnological applications, especially for membrane screening and small-volume process development.
Sartocon® Slice 50 is offered as an encapsulated and ready-to-use crossflow module with a filter area of 50 cm2 and a wide variety of molecular weight cutoffs. The cGMP validated self-contained unit eliminates the need for a compression holder and is available in a choice of two polymers: The Hydrosart® membrane is a stable polymer suitable for a broad pH range and can be depyrogenated using NaOH at elevated temperatures.
