Optiseal Cartridge Filters with 0.45 µm Hydrophilic Durapore Membrane
Description
Optiseal cartridge filters feature a revolutionary cartridge-to-housing sealing mechanism and pleated configuration, resulting in maximum sterility assurance and economical performance. Optiseal filters are designed for pharmaceutical applications, removing particles and microorganisms from liquids and gases. They are made with Millipore-patented Durapore PVDF membranes, providing high flow rates and throughputs, low extractables, broad chemical compatibility and the lowest protein binding of any membrane available.
For traceability and easy identification, each Optiseal cartridge is labelled with its lot number, serial number, pore size and abbreviated catalogue number. Each unit is 100% integrity tested during manufacturing to assure integrity.
Typical Applications
The Optiseal cartridge filters with 0.45 µm hydrophilic Durapore membrane will remove particles and micro organisms from aqueous liquid streams.
The prefilter layer provides superior throughput with solutions containing hard or colloidal particles, such as dextrose. The cartridge can be used for bioburden reduction in large volume parenteral (LVP) applications prior to terminal sterilization, redundantly in difficult-to-filter situations, or as a prefilter to a sterilizing grade filter.
The version without prefilter layer provides faster flow rates, increased steamability, lower extractables and lower particle shedding. This cartridge is intended for applications where high flow rates are critical, where prefiltration is either unnecessary or already present at an earlier point in the process, or where protein binding must be minimized.
