Mini Kleenpak Capsule Filterability Tools are for filter-sizing studies and evaluation during process development only.
They are not qualified for virus removal. Pall Corporation provides filters for use during drug manufacture or for
animal, human therapeutic or diagnostic needs. Please contact Pall for details of these filters where needed as
Mini Kleenpak Capsule Filterability Tools are not intended for these purposes.
Description
Specifications
With the ever-present risk of virus contamination in biologic
products, potential sources of virus contamination of
biotechnology products include viruses associated with cell lines
(endogenous viruses), or viruses introduced into the cell line or
product from culture medium or during the production process
(adventitious viruses). Viruses could also potentially be present in
donations for plasma derivatives. The Mini Kleenpak Capsule
Filterability Tool with Pegasus SV4 virus removal filter membrane
is designed for quick and efficient filter sizing studies using small
fluid volumes either following, or instead of bench scale flat disc
trials. Studies performed using this device predict filtration area
requirements of Pegasus SV4 membrane in larger, AB-style filter
cartridges or Kleenpak Nova filter capsules. These full-processscale formats utilize a laid-over-pleat membrane construction to
maximize available filtration area per filter element (2.25 m² per
254 mm [10 inch] module). Consult the relevant product
datasheets USD2847 Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter
Cartridges, and USD2856 for Kleenpak Nova Filter Capsules
with Pegasus SV4 Virus Removal Filter Membrane.
