Filtration of viscous solutions

Parker domnick hunter has extensive experience in overcoming processing problems associated with viscous and difficult to filter ophthalmic solutions. We can help you to significantly reduce your processing costs by optimizing your system to maximize throughputs, eliminate time delays and minimize filter system size.

The problem

Viscosity enhancers added to ophthalmic solutions, such as cellulose derivatives or hyaluronic acid, can be variable in supply quality producing an ophthalmic product which varies from batch to batch and over time. Even with careful optimization of the mixing process, problems associated with premature filter blockage are still common. This can result in frequent filter changeouts mid-batch, product loss and increased processing time.

The solution

The PROPOR HC has been developed by Parker domnick hunter as a specific solution to this type of processing problem. The optimized membrane configuration, incorporating a high capacity membrane prefilter layer, ensures maximum throughput of viscous solutions. In combination with our new range of PROCLEAR prefilters this provides the fastest and most cost-effective batch processing available.
