Place the required amount of Sartoclear Dynamics Filters between the ® INLET and the OUTLET plate. The text “THIS SIDE UP” and the Order and Lot# should be visible from above. The optimal amount of Sartoclear Dynamics filters is relative to the total wet cell ®...
Clamp the Sartoclear Dynamics Filters together with the IN- and OUTLET plates ® with a clamping force of 25 kN. Connect the inlet and outlet tube to the inlet plates with 1½” tri-clamp (TC) After applying a clamping force of 25 kN the silicone seals inside the Sartoclear Dynamics ®...
For installation of the Magmix Bag please follow the instructions for installation of the Magmix Bag. If you need to calibrate the pH sensor, follow the directions for use of “pH probe calibration and insertion in a Flexel ® 3D Bag for LevMixer ®...
Addition of the filter-aid Connect the Filterline (B1) to the Palletank ® for Magmix Bags. Open the quick connector on the Magmix Bag and connect the Filterline. Take care that the vent filter does not get in contact with the liquid. Directions for Use...

Take the Zipper (B3) and insert the rails of the Sartoclear Dynamics DE Bag ® in the Zipper. Around 1 cm of the rails should come out. (See also 3d-print on the Zipper for a correct insertion of the rails). Insert the rails of the Powder Transfer Adapter in the other inlet of the Zipper so that the rails of the Sartoclear Dynamics ®...

Bend your fingers and pull so that the rail opens. The rail should open easily. The port of the connected Sartoclear Dynamics ® DE Bag and the Magmix Bag is now opened. Push the yellow folding plates inwards so that the plastic film completely covers the rails to prevent that DE will stick to the rails.

In order to speed up powder uptake you may temporarily increase the stirring speed of the Magmix drive unit. See also table 1 for the recommended mixing speed per suspension volume for suspending the DE in the cell culture fluid. Table 1: Recommended mixing speed per volume Suspension volume (cells &...
Disconnect the emptied DE Bag by pulling the Zipper backwards. The Powder Transfer Adapter and the emptied DE Bag will be closed and disconnected. Check if the rail of the powder transfer is completely closed before you connect a new DE Bag. A maximum of 5 DE Bags per Powder Transfer Adapter can be used. Start the filtration after the DE is completely suspended (5 –...
For an easier handling of your emptied Magmix Bag after use you can close the vent filter at 50% volume capacity so that the Magmix Bag shrinks during processing. Switch the pump to constant pressure mode if the pressure reached 1.5 bar (21.75 psi) Stop the filtration when the flow rate goes down to 150 L/m In cases the filtrate has to be neutralized for the subsequent unit operation it...
Disassembling In order to prevent spilling of fluid on the floor an optional drip pan (2ZGL--0008) can be used. Release the pressure from the hydraulic clamping system (see the manual of your filter holder) For Sartoclear Pilot Filter Holder (on the picture) the pressure can be released ®...
