Product catalog summary
Overview: The Strainrite Companies offer Mem-Pleat SG and Pur-MAXX SG sterilizing grade polyethersulfone elements designed for high standards of microorganism control in sterile fluids. These cartridges are validated for the complete removal of Brevundimonas diminuta and are suitable for applications where microorganism contamination can cause product defects or increased processing time.
Specifications: The cartridges feature a 0.2 µm absolute rated membrane configuration, high surface area for excellent life and flux rates, and a dual-layer membrane for consistent filtrate quality. They are constructed with non-fiber shedding polypropylene support materials and are 100% thermally bonded. The design allows for extended use and multiple sterilization cycles.
Compliance and Materials: The cartridges comply with FDA CFR Title 21 and USP Class VI for biological reactivity. They are made from polyethersulfone filter media, polypropylene end caps, pleat support material, and cage/core, with seals available in Buna N, fluorocarbon, EPDM, and silicone. The reinforcing ring is made of 316 stainless steel.
Performance Characteristics: The cartridges have a maximum differential pressure of 75 psid at 75°F and 40 psid at 180°F. They can operate continuously at temperatures up to 180°F and can be sterilized via steam or autoclave up to 20 times at 275°F. They are also compatible with common sanitizing agents.
Applications: These cartridges are ideal for use in vaccines, diagnostics, final filtration of WFI & CIP water, cell culture purification, buffer solutions, and large volume parenterals (LVP).
Packaging and Dimensions: The cartridges are available in lengths of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 inches, with bulk packaging options to reduce material disposal. The Mem-Pleat SG has an outside diameter of 2.55 inches, while the Pur-MAXX SG has an outside diameter of 2.7 inches, both offering an approximate surface area of 6.5 ft² per 10-inch equivalent.

■ Vaccines 1 Buffer Solutions Sterilizing Grade Polyethersulfone Elements ■ Cell Culture Purification Final filtration of WFI & CIP Water Strainrite's Sterilizing Grade Pleated Cartridges are engineered to meet the highest standards of microorganism control for sterile fluids. These filter elements are validated for complete removal of Brevundimonas diminuta (ATCC 19146) at test concentrations of 107 CFU/cm2 (Colony Forming Units). This product is ideally suited for applications where microorganism contamination causes product defects or extra processing time due to increase fluid instability. These cartridges are produced utilizing a unique multi-pleated configuration integrating highly asymmetric and hydrophillic polyethersulfone membrane with exceptional pleat support materials. This novel multi-pleated approach increases cartridge life, strength and durability, and allows our filter cartridges to withstand multiple sterilization cycles without sacrificing product integrity. These cartridges comply with FDA CFR Title 21 and USP Biological Reactivity for Class VI Plastics. By combining these ultra pure components with the low protein binding features of highly asymmetric hydrophillic polyethersulfone membrane makes them perfect for applications in the biopharmaceutical and bottled water industries. Mem-Pleat SG & Pur-MAXX SG • Validated 0.2 pm absolute rated membrane configuration • High surface area membrane offers excellent life and flux rates while providing absolute filtration • Absolute-rated dual layer membrane provides reliable, consistent and repeatable filtrate quality • Low pressure drops yield higher flow rates and reduced processing time • Non-fiber shedding polypropylene support materials eliminate fiber migration • Pleat design for greater surface area: longer service life, fewer change outs and reduced operating costs • 100% Thermally bonded construction • Integrity tested • High strength design allowing for extended use and multi autoclave and hot water sanitization cycles • 316 SS reinforced end treatments • All materials of construction are FDA compliant with CFR Title 21 and are bio-safe in accordance with USP Class VI • Validation guide available on request Performance Characteristics Integrity Test Values Pore Size Bubble Point Test Pressure Air Diffusion USP Physiochemical Tests for Plastics Ultrapure water extracts from multiple lots of cartridges were tested and shown to have values that comply with USP limits.
