DESCRIPTION
Ultipor™ VF grade DV20 virus removal filters, a Pall Life Sciences product, are robust, stable flowrate small-virus removal filters with consistent, high capacity performance.
Sanitary direct flow cartridges
Robust size exclusion mechanism
≥ 3 log TR for > 20 nm viruse
≥ 6 log TR for > 50 nm viruses
Low binding for high protein yields
High transmission of albumin and IgG
Very low extractables
Autoclavable and steamable in situ
100% integrity-tested (correlated to virus retention)
The innovative DV20 hydrophilic PVDF microporous membrane enables > 95% transmission of proteins up to 160 kiloDaltons. Using a standard single open-ended (SOE) AB sanitary style cartridge design, Ultipor VF grade DV20 virus removal filters achieve practical flows and pressure drops in process-scale purification of biopharmaceuticals, tissue and plasma derivatives and protein additives. Where required, suitable prefilters employing the same PVDF membrane material are available, simplifying process optimization and filtration system validation
Ultipor VF UDV20 filters meet the acceptance criteria of the Parenteral Drug Association’s (PDA) virus filter task force for small-pore-size virus-retentive filters.
