Abstract
Launched in 1989, PlanovaTM filters are the first filters developed specifically for removing viruses from biotherapeutic products such as biopharmaceuticals and plasma derivatives. Virus removability is based on size–exclusion mechanisms: viruses larger than the mean pore size become trapped. Planova filters are available in pore sizes to match the virus removal needs of particular product applications. Planova filters offer an excellent combination of high protein yield, validated virus safety, and scalability. Planova filters have more than two decades of proven safety and reliability in the international biopharmaceutical industry.
