Sterilization Filter (FS Series)

    The FS series gas sterilization filters have been developed to benefit from technological advances within the manufacturing of PTFE membranes. The sterile filter housing material uses 304BA Stainless Steel and the element uses HIGH FLOW TETPOR II, made by Parker Domnick Hunter. This new generation of filter sets the standard with an unrivalled combination of efficiency, flow rate and strength.

It is suitable for all sterile gas applications including fermentation inlet and off gas streams, venting, lyophilizers, autoclave vacuum breaks, and blow-fill-seal equipment, all while providing particle-free air within the electronics industry.

Sterile filter element is made by Parker Domnick Hunter in UK. FS series gas sterilisation filters have been developed to benefit from technological advances within the manufacture of PTFE membrances. This new generation of filter sets the standard with an unrivalled combination of efficiency, flow rate and strength.
It is validted as a 0.01 micron sterilising grade filter in gas through full retention to an aerosol challenge of MS2 phage. This ensures the filter will guarantee the sterility of your process in the worst-case scenario where the filter may be subjected to bulk liquid due to a process problem.
Subtle changes to the structure of the PTFE have also resulted in the production of an extremely robust product now validated for 225 steam sterilisation cycles @142°C (287.6°F). The cmbination of non-woven supports upstream of the membrane and an expanded net layer downstream has significant benefits. It provides increased protection and service life while guaranteeing zero fiber shedding into the process.
It is suitable for all sterile gas applications including fermentation inlet and off gas streams, venting, lyophilisers, autoclave vacuum breaks and blow-fill-seal equipment as well as the provision of particle free air within the electronics industry.
