Low-binding sterile filtration with electrostatic endotoxin capture

Posipep™ combines a hydrophilic PES membrane with a stable positive charge. Its low-binding construction helps minimize nonspecific adsorption of valuable proteins and peptides, while electrostatic attraction captures negatively charged endotoxin and other biological contaminants.

The result is a high-flow filtration platform designed to support strong product recovery, reliable microbial retention, and endotoxin reduction without a separate downstream adsorptive step.

High-performance advantages

Engineered to protect high-value proteins and peptides

01

Low protein + peptide binding

Helps minimize nonspecific adsorption to preserve valuable proteins and peptides and support stronger product recovery.

02

Endotoxin removal

Electropositive membrane sites capture negatively charged endotoxin while absolute-rated pore options provide validated bacterial retention.

03

Exceptional flow + throughput

Single-layer hydrophilic PES construction supports efficient processing, strong throughput, and low extractables.

04

Scalable hardware

Available in compact capsules and 5–40 inch cartridge configurations for development through production.

Mechanism

Selective capture. Strong recovery.

The membrane’s cationic surface attracts negatively charged endotoxin while its low-binding PES construction helps preserve proteins and peptides. Its absolute-rated pore structure provides validated bacterial retention.

*Typical endotoxin reduction depends on influent concentration, flow rate, fluid composition, membrane area, and operating conditions. Protein and peptide recovery is molecule- and process-dependent. Final performance should be confirmed in the intended process. Posipep™ is a working product mark pending formal trademark clearance.
