Description:
Depth filters are essential for prefiltration, cell harvesting, and clarification steps in bioprocessing. Made from cellulose, polypropylene, or glass fiber matrices, they retain particles and cell debris across a range of micron ratings (0.1 µm to 50 µm). Lenticular and capsule configurations offer scalable solutions from lab to production. These filters are highly suitable for monoclonal antibody (mAb) production, vaccine processing, and plasma fractionation. Designed to protect downstream sterilizing filters, they extend filter life, reduce clogging, and comply with pharmaceutical-grade requirements under cGMP. Depth filters are a reliable first line in any multi-stage filtration train.
