Millipore offers cartridges for clean drinks

Published: 2-Feb-2005


Millipore, a multinational bioscience company that provides technologies, tools and services for the discovery, development and production of new therapeutic drugs, has made available its Vitipore II and Vitipore II Plus cartridge filters.

The high throughput, low binding filter cartridges are suitable for the microbiological stabilisation of beverages such as wine, beer, cider and bottled water. Vitipore II cartridges are constructed with a single layer of Durapore polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane within a polypropylene cage, generating high flow rates and preserving product taste and appearance. For liquids with heavy particulate load or high colloidal content, Vitipore II Plus cartridges are equipped with an additional prefilter layer of cellulose esters for higher throughput and longer filter life. Both cartridges are made of materials that provide broad chemical compatibility with common sanitising agents and allow for repeated cleaning and sanitising cycles, reducing overall filtration costs. They also have an innovative, patent-pending end cap design for mechanical robustness and increased durability. Vitipore and Vitipore II Plus cartridge filters are available in a wide selection of configurations to meet all particle removal challenges and manufacturing processes, and each filter comes with a Certificate of Quality including micro-organism retention claims.
