HIGH FLOW TETPOR II Filter Cartridges

HIGH FLOW TETPOR II gas sterilization filters have been developed to benefit from technological advances within the manufacture of PTFE membranes. This new generation of filter sets the standard with an unrivalled combination of efficiency, flow rate and strength.

The HIGH FLOW TETPOR II is validated as a 0.2 micron sterilizing grade filter in liquids through ASTM F838-05 and 0.01 micron in gas through full retention to an aerosol challenge of MS2 phage. This ensures the filter will guarantee the sterility of your process in the worst-case scenario where the filter may be subjected to bulk liquid due to a process problem. Subtle changes to the structure of the hydrophobic PTFE have also resulted in the production of an extremely robust product now validated for 225 steam sterilization cycles @ 142 °C (287.6 °F). The combination of non-woven supports upstream of the membrane and an expanded net layer downstream has significant benefits. It provides increased protection and service life while guaranteeing zero fibre shedding into the process.
