PTFE Air Capsule Filter
Delivers superior airflow at low pressure drop with lower blockage risk in moist air sterile filtration
- High hydrophobicity allows for low blockage risk under humid process conditions and long lifespan
- Best-in-class air flowrate optimizes membrane structurer provides high air flow at lower pressure drop while maintaining high retention level
- Sterilizing grade meets Bacterial Challenge Test (ASTM F838) which ensures that microorganisms, such as bacteria, are removed from the fluid stream while not adversely affecting product
- Gamma capability ensures that integrators can connect these filters into any customer-specific, single-use assembly and provide it as a sterile, final assembled product
- Product has been rigorously validated to product specification and industry standards with comprehensive documentation to support compliance
