SupaPore VP
SupaPore VP Microfiltration cartridges use a pleated high surface area Polyethersulphone membrane that has been designed for use in a wide range of liquid processing applications. The naturally hydrophilic PES membrane contains no wetting agents and has very low levels of extractables, making this cartridge an ideal choice for systems requiring a reliable and consistent high-quality filtrate.
Product Features
SupaPore VP cartridges feature:
- A naturally hydrophilic PES membrane
- Low protein-binding characteristics
- Exceptionally high flow rates with low clean pressure losses
- Bacterial retention data with LRVs using Brevundimonas diminuta and Serratia marcescens
- Wide chemical compatibility
All cartridges are thermally bonded and adhesive-free. Each unit is pre-flushed with ultra-pure water and integrity tested before final assembly:
- Fast rinse-up time to 18 Megohmcm*1
- Non Pyrogenic*2
- Materials meet US FDA Title 21 and USP Class VI requirements
- Meets the requirements for food contact as detailed in European Regulation (EC) Number 1935/2004
- Meets current USP requirements for extractables
Available in a wide range of grades & absolute rated pore sizes:
- General Grade
- Electronics Grade
- Biological Grade
Suitable for most sanitisation regimes including steaming, autoclaving, hot water flush, and most common sanitising agents.
Note: Steaming, autoclaving, and hot water sanitisation must use the Reinforced Polypropylene End Cap option.
Amazon Filters manufactures a comprehensive range of filter housings for SupaPore VP cartridges including the industrial 50 and 60 Series and the 70 Series for hygienic applications. Please consult our Sales Office for further details on the full range.
