PPM Cartridge Filters Pleated Polypropylene Membrane Tank Vents Bulk Pharmaceutical Chemicals Dimensions Length Outside Diameter Filtration Area Integrity Test Specifications Per 10 in. length, 60/40 IPA/water wetted membrane Pore Size PPM Membrane Filter Cartridges are manufactured for the specified needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Manufactured with inherently hydrophobic polypropylene membrane, these cartridges are designed for use in the filtration of aggressive solvents and as compressed gas and vent filters. Each cartridge module is individually diffusion tested using 60/40 IPA and water before it is released from manufacture. The cartridge surface area, filter core design, pleat configuration, and pleat packing density have been optimized to provide increased cartridge life resulting in lower filtration operating costs. Rugged construction ensures repeatable steaming and testing.

The materials used to construct pharmaceutical grade PM cartridge filters are non-toxic and meet the requirements for the MEM Elution Cytotoxicity Test and the requirements for Biological Reactivity Tests in the current version of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for Class VI - 121 °C Plastics. PPM cartridge filters comply with Title 21 CFR sections 210.3 (b)(6) and 211.72, for non-fiber releasing filters. The levels of bacterial endotoxins in aqueous extracts from pharmaceutical-grade cartridge filters are below current USP limits as specified for water for injection. PPM cartridge filters...
