Reusable 50 mm filters with superior performance for critical applications
- Reusable, autoclavable. Ideal for use with bioreactors and fermenters.
- PTFE membrane and polypropylene housing have broad chemical resistance.
- Large surface area provides greater throughput and permits higher air flow rates than competitive devices.
- Available with a variety of inlet and outlet connectors.
- Venting bioreactors, fermentation tanks, and carboys
- Sterile gas purging of culture vessels
- Filtering aggressive solvents

Sterilization
Provided non-sterile and individually packaged (except PN 4250). Can be sterilized by autoclaving at 121 - 123 °C (250 - 253 °F) for 20 min. Integrity should be verified after each autoclave cycle and before use.
