Aerex 2 0.2 µm Hydrophobic Cartridge Filters

Hyper flow with open core design

Description

Aerex 2 hydrophobic cartridge filters provide high flow rates at low pressure differentials. Aerex 2 cartridge filters are manufactured using PTFE membrane and are 100 % integrity tested to assure optimal sterilizing performance. Each filter lot also must pass rigorous stress testing before release.

Typical Applications

Designed to remove bacteria and viruses from moist gas streams, the filters are ideally suited for use in bulk pharmaceutical fermentation applications.
