Filters

Quantitive and Technical Papers

Generally filter papers are used for separating substances of different physical states. They are absorbent, porous fibre materials. The fibrous structure of filter papers forms a capillary system, whose intercapillary spaces depend, as to their size and number, on the raw materials used and which may be influenced by the beating in the hollander and the way the paper machine works.

We use natural and synthetic, organic and non-organic fibres. In order to obtain special properties they are partly treated chemically and are impregnated with synthetic resins.

Sartorius filter papers are made to a great extent from pulps of pine or spruce wood, but also of birch-, beech- and eucalyptus wood, cotton linters and viscose pulp.

These raw materials are refined to different filter papers with graded properties by wet beating in hollanders and sheet formation on specially modified paper machines.

Midisart 2000

Sterile Venting Units Sartorius sterile venting units with naturally hydrophobic PTFE 0.2痠 membrane ensures reliable sterile venting of small fermenters and cell culture containers.

The Midisart 2000 tapered hose nipple ensures a simple, secure hold for tubing with an inner diameter of 6-12mm. Due to the low weight of only 20g, the connected tubing is not snapped off. The membrane is reinforced with polypropylene gauze for stability to pressures of up to 3 bar. The 20 cm2 large filter area allows high flow rates at low differential pressures. Each unit is printed with lot numbers and individual piece number on the housing for total security and traceability.

Lightweight design reduces the chance of the tube collapsing whilst sterile venting.

Validation documentation available.

Minisart Syringe Filters

Minisart syringe filters are ready-to-use filter units, offering high flow rates at low inlet pressures, to make rapid filtration of possible. Fitted onto a syringe, they enable a less hand-tiring sterilization of up to 100 ml of liquid. A Minisart fitted on a standard dosing syringe makes up a very convenient system for simultaneous dosing and sterilization. For larger volumes either Sartolab P or MidiCap membarnes may better suit your needs.

Particle removal Minisarts are available with pore sizes 0.45µm, 0.8µm, 1.2µm, 5µm and one with a glass fibre depth filter. They can also be used as a prefilter in combination with a 0.2µm Minisart, increasing the total filterable volume. Minisart+ units have a built in glass fibre prefilter which can often double the filterable volume.

Addition info available here.

Minisart syringe units are colour coded to avoid confusion; yellow (0.45µm), green (0.8µm), red (1.2µm), brown (5µm), opaque (Minisart GF)

Luer lock and luer slip connections available for syringe connection.

Supplied as sterile individually packed in boxes of 50 (exception being GF type)

Supplied as non-sterile bulk packed in boxes of 500
