Optiseal Cartridge Filters with 0.1 µm and 0.22 µm Hydrophilic Durapore Membrane

Optiseal Cartridge Filters with 0.1 µm and 0.22 µm Hydrophilic Durapore Membrane

Description
Optiseal cartridge filters feature a revolutionary cartridge-to-housing sealing mechanism and pleated configuration, resulting in maximum sterility assurance and economical performance. Optiseal filters are designed for sterilizing applications, removing particles and microorganisms from liquids. They are made with Millipore patented hydrophilic Durapore PVDF membranes, providing high flow rates and throughputs, low extractables, broad chemical compatibility and low protein binding.

For traceability and easy identification, each Optiseal cartridge is labelled with its lot number, serial number, pore size and an abbreviated catalogue number. Each unit is 100% integrity tested during manufacturing to assure integrity.

Typical Applications
- Sterile filtration of parenterals, diagnostics, and buffers
- Sterile filtration of media and biologicals
- Sterile filtration of solvents
