PharmaceuticalPureFlo® Z-Series Disc Capsule Filters
Saint-Gobain PureFlo® Z-Series Disc Capsule filters are
gamma-stable and ideally suited for integration into singleuse applications. These filters feature an asymmetrichydrophilic PES membrane that demonstrates exceptional
capacity and flow performance in liquid applications.
Z-Series Disc Capsule Filters offer small-scale filtration ina variety of applications in the biopharmaceutical industry.
The Z-Series product family has been designed for easy
pre- and post-use integrity testing, assuring easy wettingfor quick and accurate integrity test results.
