Aervent–50 Disposable Filters with Hydrophobic Aervent Membrane

Description

Aervent-50 0.2 µm hydrophobic filters contain a 50 mm Aervent PTFE membrane in a bi-directionally supported polypropylene casing. This sterilizing-grade filter is designed for critical small scale gas line and air venting applications. The hydrophobic Aervent PTFE membrane provides high flow rates and throughput, low extractables and particle shedding, and broad chemical compatibility.

For traceability and easy identification, each Aervent-50 filter is hot stamped with its catalogue number and lot number. Each Aervent-50 filter is integrity tested during manufacture.

Typical Applications

Sterile venting of vessels and carboys
Autoclave vacuum break lines
Low volume sterile filtration of non-aqueous fluids
Small fermenter inlet and exhaust gas filtration
