Emflon™ PFR membrane in Novasip™ capsules, a Pall Life Sciences product, offer lower installation costs than comparable systems. Its steam sterilizing durability provides a long service life and low maintenance costs. Polyetherimide is an advanced plastic selected for its high-strength at elevated temperatures and pressures. This ensures that Novasip filters can be used under a wide range of operating conditions including multiple steam-in-place cycles. Novasip filters are supplied with inlet/outlet connections compatible with sanitary flange fittings. Vents and drains are available with integral valves. Novasip filters with Emflon™ PFR filter membranes are purpose-designed for use in critical air and vent applications. Comprehensive validation documentation Novasip filters with Emflon™ PFR filter membrane have been extensively tested to ensure consistent and reliable performance under a range of process conditions. A full validation guide is available on request. Installation and operating instructions, including information on steam-sterilization, are available.
