By using Virosart HF, high viral safety is provided for biopharmaceuticals. Virosart HF is based on a uniquely modified PES membrane, which offers extremely excellent processing capacity and very high flow rates. Due to the high packing density of the elements, the hold-up volume and flushing capacity are extremely low, minimizing the installation area. Delivered in a sterile state, it is user-friendly and allows for quick installation of the filter elements. Virosart HF can capture small non-enveloped viruses (such as PPV, MVM) at over 4 log10 and large enveloped viruses (such as MuLV) at over 6 log10. This filter demonstrates high viral retention performance throughout the filtration process, regardless of the operating pressure, without a decrease in filtration flow rate.

Product Benefits Virosart Max significantly enhances the robustness and processing capacity of final virus filters by efficiently protecting the virus removal membrane. The most troublesome molecules for the final virus removal membrane are aggregates and small hydrophobic molecules. Virosart Max can bind aggregates extremely efficiently, independent of process conditions such as conductivity, due to hydrophobic interactions. The clean three-layer membrane material exhibits excellent adsorption capacity, making it optimal for this process stage. The T-style design of Virosart Max Maxicaps is ideal for easily installing multiple filters in series or parallel.
