Aerex hydrophobic cartridges are sterilizing-grade filters manufactured from PTFE membrane and polypropylene components. Cartridges are 100% integrity tested during manufacturing to guarantee filter integrity and sterility assurance.
What is the difference between Aerex and Aervent?
» Answer
Aervent cartridges have a 0.2µ PTFE membrane and are used in pharmaceutical applications where it is critical to use a phobic filter that has proven bacterial and viral retention capabilities. Common applications for Aervent are fermentation air applications, bioreactor inlet and outlet filtration and sterile process gases. Aervent filters have a liquid bacterial retention claim as well as a virus aerosol retention claim. Aerex filters also have a 0.2µ PTFE membrane but they do not come with a liquid bacterial retention claim. Common applications for Aerex include bulk intermediate manufacturing and non-pharamaceutical applications such as industrial fermentation. Aerex filters do have a virus aerosol retention claim.
