Acceleration of viral clearance with filters

Membrane Millipore has extended its Opticap product line to provide rapid and dependable viral clearance from recombinant or human plasma sources, with Opticap XL and XLT disposable capsule filters

Millipore accelerates viral clearance for Millipore Opticap XL and XLT capsules, now available with Viresolve NFP.

Membrane Millipore has extended its Opticap product line to provide rapid and dependable viral clearance from recombinant or human plasma sources.

Opticap XL and XLT disposable capsule filters are combined with Viresolve Normal Flow Parvovirus (NFP) membrane.

Offering greater than 98% recovery, the Viresolve NFP membrane's size-exclusion technology consistently clears parvovirus by a log value of 4.

Comprised of patented polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material, the membrane's unique pore structure allows flow rates 6 to 10 times faster than competitive filters.

In addition, alcohol-free integrity tests now can be completed in 15 minutes --- decreasing the time and expenses associated with assembly, cleaning and validating stainless steel housings.

Available in a variety of connections to match customer process needs, Opticap XL (In-line) and XLT (T-line) disposable capsule filters are thermal and hydraulic stress resistant, adjustable and easy-to-install, with upstream vents and drain valves.

The Opticap XL 10 disposable capsule filters minimize hold-up volume and reduce production losses.

The Opticap XLT 10, 20 and 30 disposable T-line capsule filters offer a flexible design that accommodates series or parallel filtration for a wide range of flows.
