PTM Sterilizing Filters

For the sterilizing filtration of gases and non-aqueous liquids.

Applications
  • Compressed Air
  • Pressurized Gases
  • Fermentation Air
  • Solvents
  • Tank Vents
Features and Benefits

PTFEPTM Filters are a family of validated Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane products for the sterilization of process gas applications and tank vents.

 

  • Hydrophobic - filters resist wetting by airborne water droplets, making them ideal for air and gas applications
  • Broad chemical compatibility
  • Well suited for aggressive solvents and other non-aqueous liquids
  • Pore sizes range from 0.10 to 5.0 micron

Validation

PTM filters are validated using test procedures that comply with ASTM F 838-15(ae1) protocols for the determination of bacterial retention in filters used for liquid filtration. The challenge level is a minimum of 107 organisms per cm2 of filter media. CPF filters have > 7-log removal when challenged with the organisms (0.10µm and 0.22µm meets the FDA definition of sterilizing grade filters).

  • 0.10µm: Brevundimonas diminuta
  • 0.22µm: Brevundimonas diminuta
  • 0.45µm: Serratia marcescens

Validation Guides available upon request.

Quality Assurance

PTM filters are 100% integrity tested. CPF filters are developed and manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System and designed to be used in cGMP-compliant processes. 

Black and white cartridge etched logo-png-2PTM Cartridges 

Available from 5-40 inches in length with several end connections and O-ring options. For applications using elevated temperatures, PTM/HT Cartridges can be used in processes up to 221°F. 

 

Black and white capsule etched logo-pngPTM Capsules

These filters are PTM cartridges encapsulated in a polypropylene shell to minimize exposure to process fluids. A popular choice for single-use applications and can be disposed of easily. Sizes range from 2-30 inches in length.
