Sartorius SartoScale 25 SartoPure PP3 5 um Pack of 6 Filters

Sartorius 5055342PV--LX--C SartoScale 25 Sartopure PP3 5 µm Filter

The Sartorius 5055342PV--LX--C is a precision-engineered SartoScale 25 screening device designed for process development and optimization in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Featuring 5 µm Sartopure PP3 all-polypropylene depth media, this filter is optimized for the clarification and pre-filtration of aqueous liquids, protecting downstream sterilizing-grade membranes from premature fouling. The SartoScale 25 format provides a small 4.5 cm² filtration area, allowing researchers to perform scale-up studies with minimal sample volume while ensuring data consistency with larger Sartopure PP3 production cartridges. Built with an all-polypropylene housing and media, the unit offers broad chemical compatibility and an exceptionally low extractable profile, making it the industry standard for trial-scale filtration of vaccines, proteins, and ophthalmic solutions.

Technical Performance and Design

• Process Scale-Up Consistency: Utilizes the identical multi-layer, pleated polypropylene fleece found in full-sized Sartopure PP3 filters, ensuring that laboratory results translate accurately to production scale.

• All-Polypropylene Construction: The filter media, support fleece, and capsule housing are made entirely of high-purity polypropylene, providing excellent resistance to acids, bases, and solvents.

• High Throughput & Retention: The 5 µm pore size is specifically engineered for robust particle removal and bioburden reduction, maximizing total throughput in complex or high-particulate fluid streams.

• Low Unspecific Binding: The naturally low-binding characteristics of the PP3 media maximize product yield, which is critical when processing high-value biological intermediates.
