Product Overview

Hydrophilic asymmetric polysulfone membrane ensures excellent flow rates, broad chemical compatibility, low protein binding, low extractability, high mechanical strength, and temperature resistance in a variety of applications for the biopharmaceutical, microelectronics, chemical, food and beverage industries.

These cartridges meet USP Biological Reactivity Test, in vivo for class VI-121°C plastics. Sterilizable using industry recognized and accepted methods.

The Pur-MAXX S now offers a Special Pleat option, which provides expected surface area improvements of as much as 25%. This optimized pleat geometry option was developed for the filtration of process fluids that require a high degree of particle retention and/or constant bacterial barrier for effective sterilization.

Features & Benefits

Highly tapered asymmetric pore structure which offers excellent flow rates and high solids loading characteristics

Absolute-rated membrane provides reliable, consistent and repeatable filtrate quality

Non-fiber shedding polypropylene support materials eliminate fiber migration

Maximum pleat design for greater surface area, ensuring longer service life, fewer change outs and reduced operating costs per element

All materials of construction are FDA compliant with CFR Title 21, pharmaceutical grades are bio-safe in accordance with USP Class VI

Thermally bonded construction without the use of adhesives or binders, resulting in lower extractables

Special Pleat Option: Optimized pleat geometry

Special Pleat Option: Expected surface area improvements of as much as 25%
