(EP925104-A1)      The fluid filter unit (1), with at least one pleated filter element (2), has the end sides (12) of the pleated filter element (2) next to the cylindrical housing wall (13,13') of at least one of the two sections (4,5) of the housing (3). A sealing mass (14) gives a fluid-tight bond between them.    USE -   The filter is for applications in biotechnology, genetic technology, the pharmaceutical and chemical and beverages and food industries. It can be used as a disposable filter for laboratories, as a scale-up filter, and for fitting with membrane adsorbers for material recovery.    ADVANTAGE -   The filter unit is compact, with pleated filter elements using few components and min. zones to be sealed.
