Filter Characteristics

Low protein-binding sterilizing-grade PVDF membrane
Low extractables preserve product purity and yield
High flow rate at low pressure drop for reliable economic processing
100% integrity testing and thousands of applications assure proven performance
Validated for multiple SIP and hot water sanitization cycles
Available in Millipak stacked disc format which allows minimal hold-up volume
Although 0.22 µm membrane is typical for this application, Durapore filters are available in several pore sizes and, in single-layer or multi-layer configurations to accommodate the needs of each user. Choice should be based on small-scale testing.
