A fluid filtration system includes a fluid storage vessel such as a bioreactor, a filter housing including a filter element disposed therein, a pump coupled between the fluid storage vessel and the filter housing, and a flow diverter disposed between the pump and the filter housing. The pump is configured to move fluid from the fluid storage vessel through the filter element, and the flow diverter is configured for selectively directing fluid received from the pump to the first or second end of the filter housing. In a first mode of operation, the flow diverter directs flow through the filter housing in a first direction, while in a second mode of operation, the flow diverter directs flow through the filter housing in a second direction opposite the first direction.

A depth filtration device for the clarification of biological fluids including a composite depth filter media having a nonwoven first layer integral with a second layer containing a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, a filter aid, and a wet-strength resin. The depth filter media exhibits increased binding capacity for soluble impurities such as DNA and host cell proteins from biological/cell culture feedstreams during secondary clarification and low-level impurity clearance of harvested cell culture fluids, such as those used for the manufacture of monoclonal antibodies. The depth filter media additionally exhibits significantly lower flushing requirements, resulting in lower levels of organic, inorganic and bioburden extractables released, high dirt holding capacities and good chemical and/or radiation resistance.

In a device for separating solid particles from liquids and gases in flexible disposable plastic containers, a plurality of filter elements, consisting of flat, elongate support grids with filtrate drain channels and a covering, all-round closed filter medium, are connected to form a filter package and enclosed by a flexible plastic container. This disposable filter system is operated in a pressure vessel and can be compressed there by applying an external pressure in such a way that the residual volume of the suspension is considerably reduced. As a result of the stable design, backwashing of the filter elements is possible, which prevents the build-up of a dense layer of solid particles and can therefore lead to increased filtrate flow. As a result of the completely sealed, sterile filter elements, the increased filter surface area and the resulting high filter efficiency and complete filtration with reduced residual volume shares, this system proves to be a cost-effective filtration device with high flow rates, minimized cleaning costs and short changeover times when changing products.

A filter device for removing particles from a fluid includes a fluid chamber and an inlet for fluid, an outlet for filtered fluid and an outlet for particles, each coupled to the fluid chamber. The filter device also includes a flow directing mechanism for inducing a vortex flow around a vortex axis in the fluid chamber. The outlet for particles is coupled to the fluid chamber at a location substantially perpendicular to the vortex axis.

In one example, a filtering device has a housing that defines an inlet opening, first and second bores with first and second pistons therein, respectively, first and second inlet channels that extend from the inlet opening to the first and second bores, respectively first and second outlet channels in communication with the first and second bores, respectively, and a first backflush channel.
