For 140 years Linde has been setting standards in the world of gases and helping to make our world more productive — Gases have made it possible. Whether chemicals, metallurgy, food industry, processing industry or environmental technology, there is barely any sector that can do without the hidden champions from the tank or pressure cylinder. Here, the development of technical gases has been inextricably linked to the achievements of one man — and of the company that bears his name to this day. Since the development of the air separation process, Linde has constantly reinvented itself — and is now developing the solutions for the industries of tomorrow.

It is becoming increasingly important for the biopharmaceutical industry to reduce production costs. The development of the new sterilizing-grade filter, Sartopore Platinum, therefore focused on three main factors; filtration efficacy, process safety and cost effectiveness. The result was a filter cartridge featuring performance specifications that helped optimize processes and filter handling. This article describes the new technologies implemented in these filter cartridges and the added value users will experience when using it.
