Fluorofil and Fluorofil Plus cartridgesare designed for liquid filtration from 0.1 to 0.45 microns microbial, along with sterilevent and gas filtration down to 0.01 micron(with a cartridge rated at 0.1 micron microbial for liquids).Manufactured using an expanded PTFE membrane, Fluorofilcartridges rely on the media being chemically inert and hydrophobic to repel aqueous based liquids. Fluorofilcartridges have a high voids volume, thereby providing lowclean pressure drops and a long service life. Typical applications for Fluorofil cartridges include fermenter feeds, off-gas, tank venting and processes...

Suitable as either prefilters or final filters, Microfiltrexhas a comprehensive range of depth filter cartridges. They are available in a range from 0.5 to 90 microns absolute rated to a Beta ratio of 5000 (99.98% efficiency) depending on the cartridge type. Thiscompares favourably with nominally rated cartridgeswhere performance can be misleading without the removal efficiency at the specified rating or other qualifying test data. Klearfil cartridges represent the latestdevelopment in filtration technology,featuring a hybrid design which combines a true depth filter media with a pleated construction....
