Fax. +31-1-261.62.89 Data Sheet Clarigard Filters High-performance filters for the clarification and prefiltration of process fluids Clarigard filters 99.99% retention characteristic makes them ideal for the protection of critical downstream process steps such as membrane filters or chromatography columns. The graded-density depth structure of Clarigard filter media provides maximum filtration capacity, and the polypropylene construction offers low extractable levels and broad chemical compatibility. Clarigard.2 µm and.3 µm filters will easily extend the capacity of sterilizinggrade filters. Clarigard high performance prefilters consistently produce a 1 2 log bioburden reduction. Benefits 99.99% retention rating High capacity media Low extractable levels Effectively protects expensive membrane filters from premature plugging Designed for rigorous process conditions and broad chemical compatibility Ideal for designing scalable solutions from bench top to full-scale manufacturing
Regulatory Compliance Clarigard filters are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO 9 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality. Each Opticap XL capsule and cartridge filter is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements. Multiple Formats Available Clarigard filters are available in two formats, five pore sizes, and multiple configurations that vary by filtration area and the type of inlet/outlet connection.

Opticap XL Disposable Capsule Filters Opticap XL disposable capsule filters with Clarigard media are available in multiple filter sizes, providing an optimal choice for every application. The patented Opticap XL capsule design allows unparalleled thermal and hydraulic stress resistance in a disposable filter, resulting in reliability, high confidence in the sterility process and improved cleanliness. The unique capsule design with Clarigard media minimizes hold-up volume and reduces production losses. The Right Size A wide range of filter sizes is available to fit all of your application needs for easy scale-up of your small volume filtration steps to larger, full-scale filtration processes. The Right Connections Self-contained and disposable, Opticap XL capsule filters are supplied with a choice of inlet and outlet connections to optimize your filtration process, including sanitary flanges which provide a higher flow rate, fractional sanitary flanges, and hose barbs. Cartridge Filters Clarigard cartridge filters provide high throughput and minimal differential pressure. Cartridges are robust, strong, resilient and are designed to withstand multiple steam-in-place cycles. Opticap XL Filters A full range of filter sizes are available to suit your application requirements. A variety of connection options are offered for easy adaptation to existing housings.
