Abstract: A filtration device, in particular a disposable filtration device, has a flow path in which a filter element and an integrated flow reducer are arranged one behind the other. The flow reducer is adapted to be brought to a first operating position, which permits a defined first volume flow rate, and at least to a second operating position, which permits a defined second volume flow rate which is smaller than the first volume flow rate.

Abstract: A single-use filtration device (10) comprises a plurality of single-use filter capsules (12) connected with each other by rigid lines, of which at least a part is firmly mounted in a raster universally specified by a holder (14). The filter capsules (12), in particular as regards the type of filter, type of construction and/or size, and/or the connections of the filter capsules (12), are preconfigured for a desired filtration process.

Abstract: A disposable filter capsule for a filtration device comprises only one housing, which has an inflow connection for a fluid to be filtered and an outflow connection for filtrate. The disposable filter capsule also comprises at least two separate filter means, which are fixed in the housing and together with the housing form an inseparable structural unit. All the components of the disposable filter capsule consist of sterilizable, in particular gamma-sterilizable, materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a porous sheet product, to a filter element comprising the porous sheet product, to a method for producing the porous sheet product, to a method for producing the filter element, and to the use of the sheet product and of the filter element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro-porous filtration membrane with performance enhancing multi-level macro-scopic cavities as well as a method for producing the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to an annular connection clamp with a first clamping flange (22) which protrudes radially inwards and with an axial counter bearing (24) which is spaced from the clamping flange and which is made of a first and a second half-ring segment (20), each half-ring segment having a first and a second segment end. The first segment end of the first half-ring segment (20) has latching means (281) of a first type, and the second segment end of the second half-ring segment has corresponding latching means (282) of a second type, said latching means being pushed into each other in a tangential direction, thereby being latchable together. The second segment end of the half-ring segment (20) has latching means (282) of a second type, and the first segment end of the second half-ring segment (20) has latching means (281) of a first type, said latching means being pushed into each other in a tangential direction, thereby being latchable together.

Abstract: A disposable filtration device includes a plurality of disposable filter capsules connected with each other by lines, which are carried by a rigid holder. At least the holder and the lines between the filter capsules preferably are formed of a sterilizable material, so that the filtration device can be sterilized in the pre-mounted, i.e. ready-to-connect condition, and can be packed and transported without a risk of damage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro-porous filtration membrane with performance enhancing projections as well as a method for producing the same.
