Compressed Air

Gamma Stable | Single-use
PureFlo® Polyethylene (PE) Mini Capsule Filters aredesigned for sterile vent and compressed air
applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The unique
PE membrane offers higher flow rates than typical
gamma-compatible vent filters. The high flow rateand compact design allows for efficient integration,
minimizing the space and weight of the vent filter insingle-use systems.
