Sartobind® Membrane Adsorbers – Trusted for More Than Two Decades in Commercial Processing

Sartobind® membranes transform chromatography steps into a highly productive process, from screening to production:

  • The high flow rates of these adsorptive membranes make them 150× faster than a traditional column
  • The capsule and cassette formats eliminate the need for packing hardware
  • The membrane can be sized to fit the impurity removal process based on capacity rather than flow rate
  • Single-use consumables eliminate the need for costly cleaning validation
  • Available in a variety of chemistries
Ease of use

Capsules can be handled like a filter, and cassettes can be installed in less than 10 minutes

Scalability

From 96-well plates to 5 L capsules and modular cassettes, Sartobind® offers a linear scale-up to all process scales

Speed

High flow rates (5 – 20 MV/min) reduce processing time, a dramatic contrast to columns  with 0.5 CV/min or slower flow rates

Footprint reduction

The capsule and cassette formats eliminate the need for column packing, reducing the required facility space

Lower COGS

Single-use consumables eliminate need for cleaning validation, while the fit based on capacity vs. flow rate reduces buffer consumption

Sartobind Membranes for All Process Scenarios

Sartobind® membranes are available for both flowthrough and bind/elute applications.

Sartobind® Q

Sartobind® Q is highly flexible and used  in a wide variety of processes such as the removal of HCP, DNA, viruses, and endotoxins. It is also applied for virus and nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) purification.
As with all Sartobind® membranes, the large pore structure is particularly suited to large biomolecules.

Sartobind® Phenyl – Easy Aggregate Removal

Sartobind® Phenyl is a hydrophobic interaction membrane with low ligand substitution. This allows for mild elution conditions for the purification of all biomolecules.

Sartobind® Phenyl membranes can be considered as a replacement to columns for polishing (flow-through) operations and a number of bind-and-elute applications, as they work at much higher flow rates, reduced complexity and without size exclusion effects when purifying large biomolecules.

The typical dynamic binding capacity (DBC) at 10 % breakthrough is:
•    9-13 mg/mL mAb
•    10 mg/mL BSA
•    23 mg/mL Lysozyme
