PharmaDoer™ PES Series polyethersulfone (PES) pleated filter cartridges provide highly efficient micronic and submicronic retention of particulates and microbial bio-burden in the production of pharmaceutical and biotechnology fluids. The highly asymmetric PES membrane offers excellent permeability and contaminant capacity. Excellent microbial retention with proven high LRV performance. The hydrophilic membrane allows for fast and easy wetting in aqueous fluids. Cartridges receive a thorough ultrapure water rinse to assure product cleanliness. Cartridges are 100% integrity tested to assure optimized retention performance.
