What is a Zeta Plus Encapsulated System Holder used for?

It is used to securely hold Zeta Plus depth filter capsules, providing a robust and contained system for the clarification and purification of liquids in biopharmaceutical and related industries.

What type of filters does this holder use?

This holder is specifically designed for 3M Zeta Plus encapsulated depth filter capsules, which come in various grades and sizes to suit different filtration requirements.

Is this system suitable for sterile applications?

While the Zeta Plus filters are highly effective for clarification and bioburden reduction, they are typically used as a pre-filtration step before final sterile filtration with membrane filters.

What maintenance is required for a Zeta Plus holder?

Maintenance is generally minimal, primarily involving cleaning and sanitisation of the holder between uses, along with periodic inspection of seals and connections. The filter capsules themselves are disposable.

Can this unit be integrated into an existing process line?

Yes, these holders are commonly designed with standard sanitary connections (e.g., Tri-Clamp) for straightforward integration into existing bioprocessing lines, often requiring ancillary pumps and tubing.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Applications & Use Cases

Clarification of cell cultures and fermentation broths in biopharmaceutical production.
Pre-filtration for sterile filtration steps in vaccine and therapeutic protein manufacturing.
Removal of aggregates and particulates from process streams in pharmaceutical development.
Purification of various biological fluids and media in laboratory and pilot-scale operations.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity: For this class of equipment, flow rates typically range from several litres per hour for laboratory units to hundreds of litres per hour for pilot-scale systems, depending on the capsule size.
Power supply: This is a passive filtration holder; it does not require an electrical power supply itself, but ancillary pumps and controls typically operate on standard single-phase industrial voltages (e.g., 230V, 50Hz in the UK).
Materials of construction: The holder is commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 316L) for wetted parts, with robust polymers for non-wetted components, ensuring chemical compatibility and cleanability.
Filter media type: Units of this type utilise Zeta Plus depth filter capsules, which incorporate a positively charged filter matrix for electrokinetic adsorption of negatively charged contaminants.
Operating pressure: Typically designed for operating pressures up to 4-5 bar (60-75 psi), though specific limits depend on the capsule and holder design. Buyers should confirm with the seller.
Footprint: The footprint for a holder of this type can vary significantly based on the number and size of capsules it accommodates, ranging from benchtop models to larger skid-mounted systems.
