Cytiva, 3MCFPRM4, Pall™ Pegasus™ Prime membrane in Microdisc capsules, 20 nm removal rating, 2.8 cm² EFA, box of 4

Pegasus™ Prime membrane in Microdisc capsules, part of our Pall filtration portfolio, are for the confirmation and validation of performance at a small scale using minimal volumes of process fluid and virus spike preparations.
A combination of high log reduction value (LRV), high throughput, and high flow in all monoclonal antibody (mAb) solutions, Pegasus™ Prime virus filters deliver an economic virus filtration solution with a small footprint for easy integration into single-use and automated processes.
For feed streams with high levels of fouling protein aggregates, Pegasus Prime can be combined with Pegasus Protect prefilters for high parvovirus retention, capacity and flux.
Pegasus™ Prime membrane in Microdisc capsules are available gamma-sterilized or suitable for autoclave.
