Description

General description

The Cellicon^® Filter Assembly is designed to meet your perfused seed train challenges. It is a flat sheet cell retention filter running in tangential flow filtration mode part of a single-use assembly. Perfusion operations deliver high-density cell cultures that alleviate the burden of processing large production bioreactor volumes while increasing manufacturing flexibility. Introducing perfusion to your seed train makes it possible to inoculate a higher quantity of cells for one or more production bioreactors, thus increasing process efficiency.

Application

Microfiltration and Seed Train Perfusion

Features and Benefits

• Predictable linear scalability from lab to manufacturing scale
• Reliable and reproducible performance
• Gentle on cells, maximizing cell density and viability
• Easy installation, with smooth connection to bioreactor through welding or sterile connectors

Packaging

The Cellicon^® filter packaging meets the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Integrity Test Procedure D4169. The Cellicon^® filter and assembly are secured in foam parts which is then double bagged. A caution label and a gamma indicator label are included on the inner bag. The double bagged Cellicon^® filter Assembly is individually boxed. A Certificate of Quality is available electronically.
