Product Categories for Biomanufacturing Purification Platforms
-
Harvest and Clarification Depth FiltersVersatile, adaptable 3M depth filters allow for effective clarification of biopharmaceutical manufacturing fluids. Our pharmaceutical-grade filters have high contaminant-holding capacity and provide economical filtration with reliable particle reduction.
-
High-Capacity Membrane FiltersEngineered for high capacity, fast flow rates, and including a product designed for reduction of negatively charged biological contaminants, such as endotoxin. A validated bacteria retentive membrane makes these filters ideal for biopharmaceutical sterilization.
-
Hybrid Chromatographic PurifiersAdvanced anion exchange polymers, combined with fine fibre nonwovens and fine particle reduction membranes to create novel purification media. The result is a synthetic, single-use clarifying product that provides high purity.
-
High-Purity Activated Carbon FiltersWith five standard types of activated carbon filters for a broad range of uses, 3M offers you a high degree of application flexibility. Our filter portfolio is designed for purification of a range of chemical and biological pharmaceutical fluids.

HarvestIntroducing 3M™ Harvest RC: a new single-stage, single-use chromatographic clarification solution. It is the next generation in harvest and clarification technology and is designed as an efficient option to increase monoclonal antibody (mAb) yields while streamlining the upstream process by replacing the centrifuge and/or depth filtration process steps.
- Capsule format enables typical product recoveries of 95+%
- Replaces primary, secondary, and guard membrane clarification stages
- Predictably scales from discovery to manufacturing in terms of clarification consistency and cell loading capacity
- Fits into discovery to manufacturing scale workflows with a range of product formats
- Lowers total cost of manufacturing compared to conventional approaches
-
PolishingThe goal of the polishing step is fast and efficient removal of residual contaminants in your process to achieve injectable product purity in the least number of polishing steps. 3M™ Polisher ST is a fully encapsulated single-use anion exchange (AEX) product intended to reduce host cell protein impurities, viruses and other negatively charged contaminants in flowthrough polishing chromatography of biopharmaceutical process streams.
3M™ Polisher ST combines two complementary synthetic AEX functional medias: a quaternary ammonium (“Q”) functional nonwoven and a guanidiniumfunctional membrane. The Q-functional nonwoven provides reduction of turbidity (when present), DNA and endotoxin, as well as a portion of the product’s AEX capacity for HCP and virus reduction. The guanidinium functional membrane is salt tolerant and provides high HCP and virus reduction performance in a wider range of conditions compared to conventional Q-functional AEX resins.
3M™ Polisher ST eliminates the need for packing and cleaning validation and has 100X higher binding capacity to proteins, viruses, virus-like particles and other large complexes when compared to resins.
