Depth Filters

 

Depth filters are ideally suited for demanding prefiltration, cell harvesting, and post virus inactivation clarification processes in biopharmaceutical and biotech applications. Biotech depth filters remove cell debris and contaminants, ensuring better protection to downstream purification processes such as chromatography and sterile filtration.
