Aerex 2 Hydrophobic Cartridge Filters
Description
Aerex® 2 hydrophobic cartridge filters provide high flow rates at low pressure differentials. These cartridge filters are manufactured using PTFE membrane and are 100 % integrity tested to assure optimal sterilizing performance. Each filter lot must also 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 fermentation applications.
