Food and Biological Safety

Materials conform to the relevant requirements of 21CFR Part 177, EC1935 / 2004 and current USP Plastics Class VI – 121 °C and ISO10993 equivalents.

Recommended Operating Conditions

The maximum differential pressure in direction of flow (outside to in) is 3.5 barg (50.76 psig) at 70 °C (158 °F). The maximum recommended continuous operating temperature is 70 °C (158 °F).

Effective Filtration Area (EFA)

10” (250 mm): 0.38 m² (4.09 ft²)

Sterilisation

HIGH FLOW BIO-X cartridges can be in situ steam sterilised or autoclaved up to 142 °C (287.6 °F) for a maximum of 120 steam cycles.

Retention Characteristics

The HIGH FLOW BIO-X range of cartridges has been fully validated by aerosol bacterial challenge levels of 10¹² Brevundimonas diminuta per 10” (250 mm) filter cartridge. Independent test work also shows full retention to MS-2 Coliphage.

Integrity Test Data

All cartridges are integrity tested prior to despatch by the aerosol challenge test method using the Parker domnick hunter VALAIRDATA II.

Features and Benefits

  • 94% voids volume PTFE impregnated microfibre
  • Wide bore cartridge construction to maximise flow rate
  • Stainless steel inner core
  • Exceptionally high flow rates with low pressure drops
  • Fully validated by aerosolised bacterial and viral challenge
