PharmaceuticalPureFlo® Z-Series
Junior Capsule Filters

Typical Uses
Applications

PureFlo® Z-Series Junior Capsule Filters are gamma-stable
and ideally suited for integration into single-use applications.
These filter capsules feature an asymmetric hydrophilic PES
membrane that demonstrates exceptional capacity andflow performance in liquid applications. The Z-Series Junior
Capsule Filters offer small-scale filtration in a variety ofapplications in the biopharmaceutical industry. The Z-Series
product family has been designed for easy pre- and postuse integrity testing, assuring easy wetting for quick andaccurate integrity test results.
