Steamer Line HF Cartridges
Easy Scale Up/Scale Down
The mini-BioProducer Steamer hollow fiber cartridges are designed for small to medium scale production, with easy scale up and scale down capacities.
For Perfusion/ATF Applications
The Steamer HF cartridges are the product of choice for perfusion/ATF applications. They can be repetitively autoclaved in an ATF perfusion unit or as a standalone HF cartridge.
Overview
The mini-BioProducer™ Steamer hollow fiber cartridges incorporate our latest glycerin-free, heat resistant, low extractable modified polyethersulfone (m-PES) membrane technology. All Steamer products are gamma irradiated and ready to use without any tedious pre-rinse. The mini-BioProducer Steamer is also available as a single-use assembly for crossflow perfusion applications. The extractable level for this hollow fiber cartridge is approximately 80x less than a glycerin conditioned membrane or sheet cassette.

Applications
- Cell perfusion with an ATF system or conventional pump operated cross flow perfusion system. Bioreactor and Steamer hollow fiber assembly can be autoclaved simultaneously.
- Production scale aseptic operations or any other sterile application requiring autoclaving.
- Rapid clarification of volumes ranging from 5L to 50L of cell culture, fermentation solutions and virus/vaccine suspensions.
- Concentration and diafiltration of monoclonal antibodies, enzymes, blood components and other proteins.
- As well as many other applications
