Stax™ disposable depth filter systems, a Pall Life Sciences product, is a highly versatile disposable depth filter platform that is well suited for demanding prefiltration and clarification applications in biopharmaceutical workflows.
This ready-to-use platform streamlines your process filtration applications. Stax™ disposable depth filter capsules increase process efficiencies and address the needs for simplicity, safety, speed, and intuitive operation.
- Low hold-up volume Greater product recovery and lower post use rinse volume requirements than traditional modules and housings.
Post use blow down in forward or reverse flow direction are possible. - Seamless linear scalability Greater flexibility and assurance of process success from <1L to 20,000+ L. Scalable through our entire line of scale-up devices (SupraCap™ 50 and SupraCap™ 100 capsules) as well as traditional Supradisc I and Supradisc II modules.
- Minimized risk The Stax™ capsules are based upon the outstanding design of the Supradisc II modules, which provides benefits in process stability due to their high mechanical robustness.
- No housings Easier to use and manipulate while eliminating operator safety issues.
- Completely disposable Eliminates need for cleaning and cleaning validation.
- Encapsulated design Reduces operator exposure to potential biohazards.
- Intuitive operation Reduces operator training and increases time to acceptance.
- Small footprint Enables use in close proximity to other equipment and reduces cost to install.
- Serial filtration capability Utilising Stax™ capsules containing different media grades in one chassis improves the flexibility and economy of operating the Stax™ platform.
Capsule and Chassis Design
With three interchangeable capsule sizes ranging from 0.25 m2 to 2.0 m2 (2.70 ft2 to 21.5 ft2), Stax™ capsules permit incremental increases in process fluid volume and filter area using this modular design.
