UltraSnap®
A single-use filtration system that configures pre and final filters into a plug-and-play solution.
Flexible in design, the UltraSnap® filter assembly configures UltraCap® H.D. high capacity capsule filters ranging from 10 to 50 inches into a single-use filtration system. UltraSnap® filter assembly designs can be optimized to accommodate processing requirements for flow rate, throughput and retention ratings. Securing multiple pre and final filters into a pre-assembled single-use solution, the UltraSnap® assembly arrives ready for immediate use. For added convenience, the entire filter assembly can be pre-sterilized.
The UltraSnap® assembly is a highly configurable filter system. The filter assembly can be optimized for clarification through sterile filtration applications, making the scale of single-use filters virtually unlimited.
Meissner’s UltraSnap® filter assembly eliminates the time and expense associated with change-out of filters from stainless steel housings and the associated cleaning and reassembly of the filter/housing unit(s). This time saved from cleaning operations results in less downtime between filtration runs and improved productivity. The UltraSnap® filter assembly has very low hold-up volume, which minimizes product loss during change-outs and ensures maximum product recovery. UltraSnap® support stands and carts can be designed to integrate the filter assembly into the end-user’s unit operations.
Meissner offers a FlexCessory™ stainless steel accessory fork to support the UltraSnap® assembly, which can be mounted to the Dual End-Ported Biocontainer Cart for easy transport. The accessory fork also can be mounted to the FlexCessory™ Universal Laboratory Stand for tabletop applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UltraSnap® Filter Assembly?
UltraSnap® Filter Assembly is a flexible single-use filtration system that configures UltraCap® H.D. high capacity capsule filters, ranging from 10 to 50 inches, into one pre-assembled unit. It secures multiple pre and final filters together and arrives ready for immediate use. The entire assembly can also be supplied pre-sterilized.
What applications is UltraSnap® Filter Assembly used for?
Typical Pharmaceutical Applications:
Sterile filtration or prefiltration of serum, Sterile filtration or prefiltration of tissue culture media, Sterile filtration or prefiltration of microbiological growth media, Sterile filtration or prefiltration of any viscous biological liquids, Sterile filling operations with disposable plastic biocontainers
Typical Microelectronics Applications:
Filtration of metal and oxide CMP slurries, Filtration of chemical rinse solutions, Filtration of acids, bases, solvents, Filtration of stripping solutions, DI water Filtration
What specifications or sizes are available for UltraSnap® Filter Assembly?
UltraSnap® Filter Assembly is available with UltraCap® H.D. capsules in 10″, 20″, 30″, 40″, and 50″ lengths, which permit fast, easy scale-up and scale-out. Specialized UltraSnap® connectors configure multiple pre and final capsule filters in series or parallel. Meissner’s full range of sterilizing-grade filtration, clarification, purification, and prefiltration media is available, with absolute removal ratings from 0.04 µm to 99 µm.
What makes UltraSnap® Filter Assembly unique?
UltraSnap® Filter Assembly removes the need to change filters out of stainless steel housings and clean and reassemble the filter and housing units. That saved cleaning time reduces downtime between filtration runs. Its very low hold-up volume minimizes product loss during change-outs. Because connectors can add capsules in series or parallel, the scale of single-use filtration is not limited by the assembly itself.
How does UltraSnap® Filter Assembly integrate with other systems?
Support stands and carts can be designed to integrate the UltraSnap® assembly into the end user’s unit operations. A FlexCessory™ stainless steel accessory fork supports the assembly and mounts to the Dual End-Ported Biocontainer Cart for transport. The same fork mounts to the FlexCessory™ Universal Laboratory Stand for tabletop use.
Is UltraSnap® Filter Assembly suitable for regulated biopharmaceutical manufacturing?
UltraSnap® Filter Assembly is available pre-sterilized by gamma irradiation and ready to use, and it can be built with sterilizing-grade media. Confirm the specific regulatory and validation requirements for your process with Meissner before use.
Can UltraSnap® Filter Assembly be customized?
Yes. UltraSnap® designs can be optimized for flow rate, throughput, and retention ratings. Support stands and carts can also be designed to fit the end user’s unit operations.
What other products are commonly used with UltraSnap® Filter Assembly?
UltraSnap® Filter Assembly is commonly used with UltraCap® H.D. capsule filters, the Dual End-Ported Biocontainer Cart, and the FlexCessory™ Universal Laboratory Stand. The FlexCessory™ stainless steel accessory fork connects the assembly to both the cart and the lab stand.
