PharmaceuticalPureFlo® PTFE Mini
Capsule Filters

Typical Uses
Venting
Bioreactor Inlet Gas
Compressed AirPureFlo® PTFE Mini Capsule Filters are designed
for sterile vent and compressed air applications inthe pharmaceutical industry. The PTFE membraneoffers high ﬂow rates in applications requiring steam
sterilization. The high ﬂow rate and compact design
allows for efficient integration into a variety ofpharmaceutical processes, minimizing the space andweight of the vent ﬁlter in the system.
