Acro® 50 Vent Devices with Emflon® II Membrane

Ideal for Use in Air/Gas and Vent Applications

• Emflon II membrane filters have a removal rating of 0.2 μm in liquid service and less than 0.02 μm particulate for air/gas applications.
• Connects easily to hoses of various sizes in-line or as a final filter.
• Light weight (< 27 grams) prevents crimping of tubing. Stable with gamma irradiation.
• Excellent for disposable systems. Eliminates
  cleaning validation

• Venting of bioreactors, fermentation tanks, and carboys
• Gas purging of culture vessels
• Ideal for attachment to disposable systems that need to undergo gamma irradiation

Materials of Construction

• Filter Media: Emflon II membrane (hydrophobic PVDF)
• Housing: Polypropylene

Typical Air Flow Rate

• 27 L/min at 1.0 bar (100 kPa, 15 psi)

Endotoxin Level

• < 0.25 EU/mL using Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) test

Biological Safety

• Passes United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Biological Reactivity Test, In Vivo <88>

Bacterial Retention

• Lot samples retain a minimum of 10⁷ cfu/cm² of B. diminuta per modified ASTM F838, current revision

Sterilization

• Provided non-sterile. Stable with gamma irradiation up to 50 kilogray. Can be sterilized by autoclaving at 121 °C (250 °F) for 20 min. Maximum autoclave stability, three cycles at 131 °C (268 °F) for 30 min.

Integrity Test Kit

• Verifies device integrity using one minute water breakthrough or bubble point tests
• Non-destructive test performed either in situ or in the lab
• For use with Acro 50 vent devices
