Biofil™ II

Description

Guaranteed microbial ratings
Biofil™ II cartridges are validated for bacterial removal according to HIMA guidelines and ASTM F838-05, with a log reduction value >7. They are therefore suitable for applications requiring sterilising grade filtration.
Low protein binding
Biofil™ II cartridges have excellent low protein binding characteristics, typically 10 times lower than nylon, 2 times lower than polysulphone and similar to PVDF.
Will not hydrolyse
Excellent chemical compatibility
Cartridge integrity and low TOC levels
Each Biofil™ II module of every cartridge is individually integrity tested. Each complete filter cartridge is flushed with pure water which is inspected daily for pyrogens using the standard LAL test. When required, they can be pulse flushed with 18MΩ.cm pyrogen-free ultra-clean water.
Suitable for steam sterilising
Full traceability
Controlled manufacturing environment

Biopharmaceuticals For the sub-micronic filtration of ingredients, intermediates, make-up waters and final products, including sterilisation, clarification and bioburden reduction.
Opthalmic solutions Shelf life assured through the non-removal of preservatives, such as Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK).
Electronics and semiconductors For the sub-micronic filtration of process water and chemicals, including solvents, developers and photoresists. Applications typically include central water plant treatment and critical 'wet bench' point of use filtration.
