PharmaceuticalPureFlo® PTFE MidSize Capsule Filters

Typical Uses
Venting
Bioreactor Inlet Gas
Compressed AirPureFlo® PTFE Mid-size Capsule Filters are designedfor sterile vent and compressed air applications in thepharmaceutical industry. The PTFE membrane offers highflow rates in applications requiring steam sterilization. The
high flow rate and compact design allows for efficient
integration into a variety of pharmaceutical processes,
minimizing the space and weight of the vent filter in thesystem.
