MA
SERIES
Polyethersulfone, Polypropylene,
and Nylon Membrane Filter Cartridges
The
new MicroVantage™ pleated membrane cartridges
are designed to meet the standards of a wide
spectrum of industries. From our general grade
pleated membranes designed for high purity applications
at an economical cost to our integrity testable
pharmaceutical grade membranes, these cartridges
are manufactured to the most stringent production
standards making them the new benchmark of the
industry. Materials of construction are specifically
chosen to match each application independently.
The MicroVantage™ cartridge should
be your choice when absolute retention is essential
to the process. |
Features
- The
MicroVantage™Membrane Series is available
in 0.03, 0.1,0.22,0.45, 0.65 and 1.2 pore
sizes.
- Each
cartridge is rinsed with 17 megohm water to
flush away any remaining manufacturing debris
and wash away any extractables that may effect
performance
- Pharmaceutical
grade elements are designed to be used as
sterilizing grade cartridges
- All
materials of construction meet requirements
of the FDA Title 21 of The Code of Federal
Regulations
- Cartridges
are designed for maximum throughput and particle
retention at the lowest pressure drop
- Polyethersulfone,
Nylon, and Polypropylene construction offers
a wide range of compatibility
- Compatible
with Chemical Sanitation, Autoclave, and In-Line
Sterilization methods
- Each
cartridge is individually tested for integrity
and is absolute at the rated pore size
- Each
assembly is validated to pass USP Class 6
Toxicology extractable tests for plastics

This
chart represents typical water flow @ 1 PSID per
10 cartridge length. The test fluid is water at
ambient temperature. Extrapolation for multiple
elements tends to be linear, but as flows increase
the ÐP of the housing becomes more apparent. |
