Cytiva Bioprocess Filtration Collection — Ultimate Bioprocess Filtration Solutions
1799 productsBioprocess filtration is essential for removing impurities and ensuring product quality throughout biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Cytiva’s bioprocess filtration portfolio includes tangential flow filtration (TFF), normal flow filtration, and depth filtration solutions designed for applications such as cell harvest, clarification, concentration, and sterile filtration in research and production environments.
Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) Systems for Bioprocessing
Tangential flow filtration (TFF) is a highly efficient technology used for concentrating and diafiltering biological samples during bioprocessing. Unlike traditional direct flow methods, TFF directs liquid parallel to the membrane surface, minimizing fouling and allowing for consistent, scalable filtration performance.
Cytiva offers a comprehensive range of TFF systems, including both single-use and reusable configurations, to support applications from laboratory-scale research to large-scale production. These systems are ideal for protein concentration, buffer exchange, and cell harvest, enabling high product recovery and process flexibility.

By integrating advanced TFF modules and automated control platforms, Cytiva’s bioprocess filtration solutions help you streamline workflows, maintain product integrity, and scale processes efficiently across different development stages.
Normal Flow and Depth Filtration for Clarification and Particle Removal
Normal flow filtration (NFF), also known as direct flow filtration, is widely used for removing particles, cell debris, and microorganisms during bioprocess clarification steps. By forcing liquid directly through the membrane, NFF provides reliable and consistent retention of contaminants, supporting downstream process purity and efficiency.
Depth filtration utilizes multi-layered filter media to capture a broad range of particulate impurities, including fine debris and colloidal material. This method is especially effective as a primary clarification step before sterile filtration or chromatography, extending the lifespan of downstream filters and improving overall process yield.

Cytiva offers both normal flow and depth filtration solutions engineered for high throughput, scalability, and compatibility with a variety of bioprocessing applications. These technologies help you achieve robust viral clearance, efficient particle removal, and streamlined process integration from lab to manufacturing scale.
Sterile Filtration and Bioburden Reduction Solutions
Sterile filtration is a critical step in bioprocessing, ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance by effectively removing bacteria and other microorganisms from final products. Cytiva provides a comprehensive range of sterile filters designed for high throughput, low protein binding, and robust microbial control, supporting both bioburden reduction and final sterilizing filtration.
Key advantages of Cytiva sterile filtration solutions include:
- High microbial retention to safeguard product purity and patient safety
- Low extractables and protein adsorption, maintaining product quality
- Reliable performance for both upstream and downstream bioprocess applications
- Scalability from laboratory development to full-scale manufacturing

With validated filter membranes and proven process compatibility, Cytiva’s sterile filtration products enable you to meet strict regulatory standards while maximizing process efficiency.
Cell Harvest, Concentration, and Diafiltration in Bioprocessing
Efficient cell harvest, concentration, and diafiltration are essential for maximizing product yield and purity in bioprocess workflows. Cytiva’s advanced filtration systems enable you to separate cells, concentrate target biomolecules, and exchange buffer solutions with high efficiency and scalability.
Key benefits of Cytiva solutions for these applications include:
- High recovery rates for cell harvest and product concentration

How to Select the Right Bioprocess Filter
Choosing the optimal filtration solution is critical for achieving consistent product quality and efficient bioprocessing. Cytiva provides a diverse portfolio of filters tailored to different process volumes, pore sizes, and end-use requirements. When selecting a filter, you should evaluate the following key factors:
-
Process Volume and Scale
Select filters designed for your process throughput—bench-scale, pilot, or full production. Ensure scalability by matching filter formats and performance across development stages. -
Pore Size and Filtration Objective
Define the primary goal: clarification, sterile filtration, viral clearance, or particle removal. For example, 0.2 μm membranes are standard for sterile filtration, while larger pore sizes may suit clarification. -
Feed Stream Characteristics
Assess viscosity, particulate load, and fouling potential. High-turbidity feeds benefit from multi-layered depth filters, while low-fouling streams may utilize single-layer membranes. -
System Compatibility
Confirm filter compatibility with your process hardware—capsule, cartridge, or automated system—and evaluate the need for single-use versus reusable formats based on process flexibility and contamination control. -
Regulatory and Quality Requirements
Consider certification standards (USP, EP, FDA) and documentation support to streamline process validation and regulatory compliance.
By systematically addressing these criteria, you can identify the most suitable Cytiva filtration solution to optimize process efficiency, product yield, and regulatory alignment at every stage of biomanufacturing.
