PharmaceuticalPureFlo® Polyethylene(PE) Full-Size Capsule
Filters
Gamma Stable | Single-use
PureFlo® Polyethylene (PE) Full-Size Capsule Filters aredesigned for sterile vent and compressed air applicationsin the pharmaceutical industry. The unique PE membraneoffers higher flow rates than typical gamma-compatible
vent filters. The high flow rate and compact design allows
for efficient integration, minimizing the space and weight ofthe vent filter in single-use systems. 100% of these capsulefilters are integrity tested during the manufacturing process
to assure product quality.
