Pharmsteri™ AHC PES Liquid Capsule and Cartridge Filter

Delivers superior throughput for broad challenging feed streams while minimize product loss in sterile filtration.

Dual layer and highly asymmetric PES membrane minimize pressure build-up while processing large volume fluids
Structure design helps minimize dead zone which can cause loss of high value products
Sterilizing grade meets Bacterial Challenge Test (ASTM F838) to ensure that microorganisms, such as bacteria, are removed from the fluid stream while not adversely affecting product
Broad chemical compatibility pH 1~14, allows use in a range of chemicals including acids and bases
Product has been rigorously validated to product specification and industry standards with comprehensive documentation to support compliance
