Durapore 0.45 µm Hydrophilic Cartridge Filter

Description

Durapore 0.45 µm hydrophilic filters are manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane with a cellulose ester (RW06) prefilter layer for greater throughput and polypropylene components for broad chemical compatibility. They also exist without prefilter layer.

Durapore filters are 100% integrity tested during manufacturing to guarantee integrity.

Regulatory Compliance

Filters with hydrophilic Durapore membrane are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO® 9000 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality. Each cartridge filter is integrity tested during manufacturing and is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.

For traceability and easy identification, each device is marked with the product name and identifying characteristics.

Typical Applications

Durapore 0.45 µm hydrophilic filters remove particles and microorganisms from aqueous liquid streams. These filters are ideally suited for large volume parenteral or ophthalmics manufacturing, where prefiltration is either unnecessary or already present at an earlier point in the process, or where protein binding must be minimized.
