Optiseal Filters with Hydrophobic Aervent Membrane

Description

Optiseal™ filters with Aervent™ membrane are 0.2 µm hydrophobic cartridges. They are designed for sterilizing applications, removing particles and microorganisms from gases and solvents. They are made with PTFE membrane and polypropylene components for broad application compatibility. Optiseal filters with Aervent membrane are designed to be used with Optiseal housings.

For traceability and easy identification, each Optiseal cartridge is labeled with its lot number, serial number, pore size and an abbreviated catalogue number.

Optiseal filters with Aervent membrane are designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registered body to an ISO® 9000 Quality Systems Standard. Each unit is 100% integrity tested during manufacturing to guarantee integrity.

Typical Applications

Optiseal Aervent hydrophobic cartridges will remove particles and microorganisms from gases and liquids for low flow rates. In gases this filter will remove contamination down to 0.01 µm.

Sterile tank venting
Fermentation air applications
Bioreactor inlet and outlet filtration
Autoclaves
Sterile process gases
