Clarification & Harvest

Three cylindrical white clarification filters designed to remove particles and microorganisms from pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical process streams. The filters are set against a blue background.

Clarification steps prepare your bioreactor harvest material for downstream purification by reducing the levels of impurities and particulates. Selecting the right separation technology depends on the properties of your fluid stream, process scale, and downstream processing steps.

Our clarification portfolio has options for every process and encompasses the filters and holders, pretreatment solutions, and hardware & systems you need to achieve efficient, robust, clarification to maximize success of your downstream operations.
