FIBRAFIX® AF 11H for Polishing Filtration
The Craft Brewers Choice for Polishing FiltrationIn the age of dry hopping, brewers are searching for more efficient ways to clarify their beer. One of the major challenges is high particulate loads or shorter storage times. This will eventually lead to early filter blockages, shorter filtration cycles and subsequently downtime. In order to increase capacity and filter life, we have developed a new FIBRAFIX® filter sheet. The new FIBRAFIX® AF 11H filter sheet with unique partial perforation technology combines all advantages brewers are looking for when pre-filtering or polishing their hazy beers. |

Mammalian Cells and mAb’s clarification solutions
Single-use and traditional approach of clarificationThe ongoing optimization of mammalian cell lines and fermentation processes leads to higher cell densities/titers and higher monoclonal antibody (mAb) yields. Due to this optimization also the biomass increases, including cell debris and other impurities, which challenges the clarification/harvest step. |
|
The typical clarification process for mammalian cells and mAb involves a primary and a secondary clarification step. Due to potentially high shear forces and the necessity of this step to remove submicron particles, depth filtration is a mandatory step before transferring the liquid into the downstream. |
The process combines low running costs with operating robustness.

CLARIFICATION FOR VACCINES
|
Clarification for vaccines – the economic and efficient removal of cell debris and negatively charged molecules with FILTRODISC™ BIO SD and FILTRODISC™ R2U depth filter modules. |
|
The purification of vaccines is a critical step during their complex production process. Cells and cell debris, as well as unwanted contaminants such as host cell proteins (HCPs) and nucleic acids need to be removed, while ensuring an optimal product yield. FILTROX offers a variety of filtration solutions to meet the specific needs for vaccine clarification. A well-established and efficient technology is alluvial (or body feed) filtration with filter aids such as diatomaceous earth. Lenticular filter modules (FILTRODISC™) can be easily applied to combine the exceptional filtration capacity of filter aids with the advantages of using an enclosed filter housing (DISCSTAR™). To further optimize pharmaceutical processes, the single use filter modules FILTRODISC™ BIO SD for alluvial filtration and FILTRODISC™ R2U (Ready2Use) for standard depth filtration of less turbid fluids are the best solution for eliminating cross-contamination risks and reducing cleaning validation efforts. This technology is easy to implement and linear scalable from lab to production. |

Update – FILTROX statement regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)
First of we hope that you, your families and your businesses have not been affected too much by the Corona-Crisis.
Thankfully, FILTROX is still 100% operational. All our manufacturing sites are running on a normal schedule and our regional distribution centers and sales offices around the world are open. As at most companies, our staffing levels are reduced due to safety and quarantine measures. However, this has not affected our operational stability due to flexible work schedules and home-office solutions. We have enough stock of necessary raw materials and components and have not experienced any major disruptions in our supply chain.
FILTROX Situation regarding Coronavirus
Currently, we are still 100% operational. All our manufacturing sites are running. Therefore, we can currently ship all purchase orders within normal lead times.
However, we are experiencing some problems with outgoing freight such as limited container availability, reduced airfreight capacity and more time-consuming border-crossing procedures. We are also aware that the
situation could change quickly due to higher levels of infections and/or more severe restrictions on the free movement of people and goods.
We are monitoring the situation continuously and will advise immediately of any changes. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Alluvial Filtration
An Economical Solution for Midstream Clarification
Introduction
Continuous process optimization is a key factor in the biotech industry. With higher particle loads (>108 cells/ml), standard technologies for cell removal (midstream processing) – e.g. centrifugation, separation, membrane- and depth filtration – find their limits.
To increase efficiency and making the midstream process more economical alluvial filtration is the state-of-the-art solution. Alluvial filtration is a type of depth filtration and a well-established, econo-mical method in pharmaceutical industries (e.g. plasma fractionation). Instead of using an immobilized depth filter medium, filter aid (e.g. diatomaceous earth, perlite) is used to constantly build a filter cake during filtration. The filter cake with its resistance acts then as the actual filter medium. Alluvial filtration, therefore, leads to a higher filter capacity – especially with compressible particles, e.g. microbial or mammalian cells. This technology leads to a maximum product yield and highest economic efficiency and is linear scalable from lab to production scale.
CBD products: the filtration
Producing pure and safe CBD products is the goal of every quality-conscious manufacturer of cannabis products. Raw hemp extracts contain high concentrations of cannabinoids, but will also contain contaminants and impurities like plant particles, chlorophyll and debris as well as unwanted oils and waxes. Why certain contaminants should be removed:
Chlorophyll:
• bitter taste and highly unstable
• will cause degradation of cannabinoids
Waxes:
• very sticky components
• removal leads to smoother texture and consistency
Filtration and purification steps of CBD products and oils
In order to ensure product quality and safety, filtration is essential. To remove the waxes, fats and oil from the winterization a multi-step filtration is recommended. Depending on the batch size different approaches are possible. Find out more about the filtration steps. more…
