Lifegard™ Cartridge Filters

Superior filters for the clarification and prefiltration of viscous biological fluids when high contaminant holding capacity is required

Overview

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.

Lifegard™ cartridge filters are ideally suited for processes that require maximum pressure differentials. Cartridges are robust, strong, resilient and are designed to withstand multiple steam-in-place cycles.

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 cartridge filter 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 full range of filtration areas is available to suit your application requirements. A variety of connection options are offered for easy adaptation to existing housings.

The Filter of Choice in Plasma Proteins and 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.
