Cost effective clarification

Published: 1-May-2004


US-based Millipore has introduced new filter housings that are said to further streamline the liquid clarification process. The new Millistak+ and Millistak+ HC 316L stainless steel filter housings compress multiple stages of mammalian cell culture clarification into a single cost-saving step, says the company.

They use a unique compression mechanism to ensure consistent sealing pressure and fast, trouble-free operation. By eliminating the conventional threaded post and nut, changeover can be executed in minutes. Available in a variety of sizes, the Millistak+ housings accommodate the Millistak+ HC and Millistak+ lenticular filters. The housings meet the European and US manufacturing requirements and support process development through pilot and full-scale manufacturing.

Millistak+ HC filters combine charged depth media and membrane separation technologies to enhance filter capacity and retention.
