Minidisc filter capsules incorporate Ultipor® VF Grade DV20 membrane and are validated for virus removal.

They are also suitable for small-scale membrane qualification studies such as bacteriophage or prion (TSE agent) clearance, as well as membrane flow rate, capacity and protein transmission studies. Every filter is identified by a lot number and a unique serial number for complete traceability of manufacturing history and for user’s traceability system and manufactured under a Quality Management System certified to ISO 9001:2008.
