Millipore - Aerex Hydrophobic Cartridge Filters

Description

Aerex® hydrophobic cartridges are sterilizing-grade filters manufactured from PTFE membrane and polypropylene components for broad chemical compatibility and low gravimetric extractables. Cartridges are 100% integrity tested during manufacturing to guarantee filter integrity and sterility assurance. The Aerex filter production process has been validated and the manufacturing plant meets ISO® 9001 standards.

Millipore's qualification of Aerex membrane filters includes a challenge regime designed to test virus and bacterial retention by three challenge mechanisms: aerosol, and grow through. Aerex filters have been validated to withstand at least 150 steam cycles at 145 °C, the equivalent of over two years use.

Typical Applications

Aerex hydrophobic cartridges will remove particles and microorganisms from gases and solvents. In gases this filter will remove contamination down to 0.01 µm.

Cartridges will also sterilize alcohol streams.
