DESCRIPTION
Emflon™ PFA filters, a Pall Life Sciences product, contain a proprietary pleated hydrophobic PTFE membrane and are designed for the removal of microorganisms and particles from air and gases.
Emflon PFA filters:
Offer exceptionally high-flow rates to ensure low installation and operating costs
Have been validated for bacterial removal in air at an aerosol challenge level of 107 Brevundimonas diminuta ATCC 19146 per 254 mm (10 in.) length cartridge
Can also be steam sterilized repeatedly in situ to provide long service life
Better by Design
The heart of the filter is a PTFE membrane with exceptional flow properties. Equally important is Pall's unrivalled expertise in cartridge construction drawing on many years experience in making PTFE membrane filters. Optimized pleating configuration and membrane support, together with a wide bore cartridge core and adapter, ensure that this high-flow performance can be exploited to the fullest.
Typical Biopharmaceutical Applications
Large-scale fermenter air
Intermediate product vessel venting
Autoclave vacuum break
Biopharmaceutical instrument air
Air and gas service lines
Features and Benefits
High-flow rates and low pressure drop allow use of smaller systems, minimizing installation, filter replacement, and energy costs
For applications like vessel venting, gas service lines, or biopharmaceutical instrument air use the Emflon PFA Filter Cartridge. PFA filters use pleated hydrophobic membrane innovation to remove micro-organisms and particles from both air and gas. All filters are integrity tested and provide high flow rates with low pressure drops.
