Depth filtration is the process of separating suspended particle or liquid droplet from its carrying fluid within the depth (thickness) of the filter medium. Depth filtration is most commonly applied in downstream bioprocessing to separate cells, cell debris, and other colloidal matter. They are currently adopted in single use technology. The mechanism of depth filter is to allow fine filtrate removal with the flexibility to develop large filter cakes if needed. Depth filtration functions through several ways of retention involving sieving, interception, adsorption, and absorption. Depth filters generally constitute higher loading capabilities and flow rates compared to membrane filter. This combination of fast filtration and high loading capacity makes depth filtration the most common choice for large volume applications. This has eventually increased the adoption of depth filters across varied applications.
The major factors that drive the growth of the market are increase in production of biologics & large molecules and rise in R&D expenditure in biopharmaceuticals & biotechnology companies. In addition, several benefits offered by these filters such as low cost and user friendly characteristic further fuels the market growth. However, low capacity of depth filters for high-density harvest and stringent regulation for filtration process using depth filters major restrain the market. However, growth in demand for depth filters across bioprocessing industry especially in single use technology offers a lucrative opportunity for the market.
