Millipore have introduced Millipore Express® SHR (Sterile High-Retention) filters providing sterilizing-grade performance and mycoplasma removal across a range of applications including cell culture media and media additives, process intermediates and other biological fluids.

These filters deliver validated sterilizing-grade filtration and reliable mycoplasma removal for enhanced sterility assurance, high flow rates for improved process efficiency and an on-board PES membrane prefilter for extended filter capacity and lower filtration costs.

Millipore Express SHR devices are a part of the Millipore Express family of PES filters, including Millipore Express SHF high flow filters for buffer filtration, and Millipore Express SHC high capacity devices for filtration of serum-free media and other moderate- to high-fouling process intermediates.
