    Abstract: A porous electrospun polymeric nanofiber liquid filtration medium, such as an electrospun mats, used for the removal of viral particles (e.g., parvovirus) and other particles in the 18 nm to 30 nm size range from fluid streams, having a mean flow bubble point measured with perfluorohexane above 100 psi. The electrospun medium includes nanofibers having an average fiber diameter of about 6 nm to about 13 nm, and the nanofiber liquid filtration medium has a mean pore size ranging from about 0.01 μm to about 0.03 μm, a porosity ranging from about 80% to about 95%, a thickness ranging from about 1 μm to about 100 μm, and a liquid permeability greater than about 10 LMH/psi. The high porosity of the electrospun mats enable much higher water fluxes, thus reducing the time required to complete virus filtration steps on a fluid stream.

    Abstract: 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 polyaeryionitrile (PAN) fibers, a filter aid, and a wet-strength resin. The depth filter media exhibits increased creased binding capacity for soluble impurities such as DNA and host eel! proteins from biological/cell culture feed-streams 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.

    Abstract: A process for the primary clarification of feeds, including chemically treated flocculated feeds, containing the target biomolecules of interest such as mAbs, mammalian cell cultures, or bacterial cell cultures, using a primary clarification depth filtration device without the use of a primary clarification centrifugation step or a primary clarification tangential flow microfiltration step. The primary clarification depth filtration device contains a porous depth filter having graded porous layers of varying pore ratings. The primary clarification depth filtration device filters fluid feeds, including chemically treated flocculated feeds containing flocculated cellular debris and colloidal particulates having a particle size distribution of approximately about 0.5 μm to 200 μm, at a flow rate of about 10 litres/m2/hr to about 100 litres/m2/hr. Kits and methods of using and making the same are also provided.
