DPPS Filters

When precision retention is critical in the sterile filtration of aqueous liquids, DPPS filters deliver configuration flexibility to meet the unique requirements of your application. You choose the pore sizes of the prefilter and final layer based on bacteria size and load. Save time, improve efficiency and avoid searching through a myriad of preconfigured filters -- configure your own quickly to achieve targeted results.

Applications

SVPs & LVPs
Diagnostics
WFI, Water Purification
Cell Culture Media
Serum, Plasma
Vaccines
Biologicals

Features and Benefits

DPPS Media DPPS Filters are bacteria retention filters consisting of two layers of Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. The bioburden reduction prefilter and the sterilizing grade final filter each come in several pore sizes to meet unique requirements for your application.

Prefilter retains large amounts of bacteria and other particulates which can extend the life of final filter, reduce changeouts, and ultimately lower costs
Low binding characteristics, well suited for filtering products with preservatives and protein solutions that can adsorb to media
Prefilter pore sizes: 0.10 - 1.2 microns
Final layer pore sizes: 0.03 - 0.65 microns

Validation

DPPS filters are validated using test procedures that comply with ASTM F 838-15(ae1) protocols for the determination of bacterial retention in filters used for liquid filtration. The challenge level is a minimum of 10⁷ organisms per cm² of filter media. CPF filters have > 7-log removal when challenged with the organisms listed below (0.03μm, 0.10μm and 0.22μm meet the FDA definition of sterilizing grade filters). Validation Guides are available upon request.

0.03μm: Acholeplasma laidlawii
0.10μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
0.22μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
0.45μm: Serratia marcescens
0.65μm: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

DPPS Cartridges

Available from 5-40 inches in length with several end connections and O-ring options. For applications using elevated temperatures, DPPS/HT Cartridges can be used in processes up to 203°F. Flow rates shown are for final layers.
