At present, among the common drug virus removal methods, virus removal filtration technology can be used as an effective physical step to remove viruses. Due to its simple and mild operation, clear mechanism, and easy verification, it has been widely used for virus safety assurance in purification processes. The currently widely used virus removal filter has a retention aperture of 20nm, which achieves virus retention through a size exclusion mechanism. Its mechanism of action is based on the fact that the virus is larger than the filter membrane aperture, and the product passes through the filter membrane while the virus is retained, which can remove enveloped or non enveloped viruses. At the same time, based on the molecular size retention mechanism, the 20nm retention aperture of the virus removal filter membrane can not only effectively remove small viruses, but also effectively remove mouse leukemia viruses with a diameter of 80-100nm and other types of virus particles.
The VF virus removal filter combines the highest virus safety and excellent membrane loading to design a virus filter that is more suitable for one-time use and has high throughput. The design of hollow fibers, without the need for additional fixtures, occupies a small area and is a ready to use product with low flushing volume and pre sterilization,

Membrane Material Characteristics

The VF virus removal filter uses an asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membrane with a nominal pore size of 20 nm. The pore size distribution of this membrane is funnel-shaped, so the membrane can maintain high throughput while ensuring the retention of small viruses under challenging conditions without affecting the filtration of the target protein.

 

Patented Modification Technology

We have also specially modified the membrane surface of the VF virus removal filter using patented modification technology to reduce the adsorption of proteins, polymers, or other potential contaminants, thereby achieving a higher level of loading.
