Lifegard™ Capsule Filters

Description

Lifegard glass microfiber medium was designed for removal of deformable and non-deformable particles and microorganisms from liquids. Versatile depth-type products retain contaminants within the matrix of glass microfiber medium. The Lifegard media is used to achieve exceptional retention efficiency. Because of its high holding capacity, adsorptive removal properties and excellent wet strength, it is very well-suited for the clarification and prefiltration of serum, plasma proteins, gene therapy and other viscous biologicals.

The capsule patented design allows unparalleled thermal and hydraulic stress resistance, resulting in reliability, high confidence in the sterility process and improved cleanliness. The unique capsule design minimizes hold-up volume and reduces production losses.

Regulatory Compliance

Filters with Lifegard media are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO® 9000 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality for documentation accuracy. Each Opticap XL capsule is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.

For traceability and easy identification, each filter is marked with identifying characteristics.

Multiple Formats Available

A wide range of filtration areas is available to fit all of your application needs for easy scale-up of your small volume filtration steps to larger, full-scale filtration processes.

Opticap XL capsule filters are supplied with a choice of inlet and outlet connections to optimize your filtration process.

The Filter of Choice in Plasma and Protein Serum Applications

Lifegard filters protect downstream sterile filters and chromatography columns while effectively removing contaminants and retaining valuable fractions of interest. These filters will remove colloids, aggregated and non-product proteins, lipids and other particles before downstream purification.
