PharmaceuticalPureFlo® PTFE FullSize Capsule Filters
PureFlo® PTFE Full-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.
Typical Uses
Venting
Bioreactor Inlet Gas
Compressed Air
