Sartorius Filter Assembly with Masterflex Tubing 5 Assemblies

Sartorius 5051303 Sartopure PP3 Filter Assembly – 1.2 µm, Masterflex L/S 16 Tubing

The Sartorius 5051303 is a high-performance, single-use filtration assembly designed for the efficient clarification and pre-filtration of biopharmaceutical fluids. At the core of this assembly is the Sartopure PP3 depth filter, featuring a 1.2 µm nominal retention rating. The PP3 media is constructed from multiple layers of graduated-density polypropylene, offering exceptional dirt-holding capacity and superior protection for sensitive downstream sterilizing-grade filters or chromatography columns. This specific assembly comes factory pre-plumbed with Masterflex 96410-16 (Precision L/S 16) platinum-cured silicone tubing. This integrated "Ready-to-Use" design minimizes setup time and ensures immediate, leak-proof compatibility with standard L/S series peristaltic pumps. It is an ideal solution for critical upstream and downstream applications, including cell culture clarification, media prep, and the removal of colloidal particles from biological suspensions.

Technical Performance and Design

• Sartopure PP3 Depth Media: Utilizes an all-polypropylene construction with a multi-layered, graduated pore structure to ensure maximum throughput and highly effective retention of heterogeneous contaminants.

• Pre-Plumbed Masterflex Tubing: Includes highly durable 96410-16 (L/S 16) platinum-cured silicone tubing. The L/S 16 tubing offers a smaller inner diameter compared to L/S 17 sizes, providing highly precise, low-to-medium flow rates when loaded into a peristaltic pump head.

• Broad Chemical Compatibility: The all-polypropylene filter housing and silicone tubing offer excellent resistance to a wide variety of biological buffers, acids, bases, and common bioprocessing reagents.

• Closed-System Processing: The pre-assembled fluid pathway reduces the need for manual tube cutting and fitting connections, drastically minimizing the risk of cross-contamination in cleanroom environments.

Product Specifications

• Catalog Number: 5051303

• Filter Media: Sartopure PP3 (Polypropylene Depth Filter)

• Retention Rating: 1.2 µm

• Tubing: Masterflex 96410-16 (Platinum-Cured Silicone, L/S 16)

Key Benefits & Applications

• Downstream Protection: Efficiently removes large particulates and aggregates, significantly extending the life and efficiency of more expensive 0.2 µm or 0.1 µm sterilizing filters.

• Clarification of Cell Lysates: Capable of handling moderate to high-solids loading, making it highly suitable for the initial clarification steps in protein and vaccine purification.

• Process Development & Scale-Up: Provides accurate filterability data that can be seamlessly scaled to larger Sartopure capsules for full-scale commercial manufacturing.

• Pump-Ready Integration: The attached Masterflex L/S 16 tubing means researchers can immediately drop the assembly into a standard pump drive without hunting for compatible barbs or adapters.
