KFM.K Capsule based on a hydrophilic polyamide membrane (Nylon 6 + 66) is used for preliminary, fine, clarifying and sterilizing filtration of liquid media in various industries from mechanical impurities and microorganisms with the size above or equal 0.1 μm.
Main applications
In medicine and biopharmacy
- For polishing and sterilization of small and medium volumes of injectables, infusion solutions, culture medium.
- For filtration of individual solution lots.
- For finish treatment on small volume fillers.
- For finish treatment of water for injection.
- For replacing disc filters 293 mm diameter.
- In pharmacy for fine and sterilizing filtration.
In microelectronics
- In ultra pure water points-of-use (removal of bacteria and colloids)
- For filtration of photoresist individual lots.
In food industry
- For finish treatment in production of small lots of beverages.
- For ingredient filtration.
- In experiments when choosing the optimal filtration schemes.

Sanitization and sterilization
Sterilization of Capsules is performed by autoclaving at temperature 121°С for 30 minutes after attainment of set-point temperature.
KFM.K Capsules are able to withstand at least 5 sterilization cycles by autoclaving at P = 0,1 MPa and t=121 ± 1°С. Note! It is prohibited to sterilize Capsule by steam-in-line.
*It is necessary to perform integrity testing of Capsules after every autoclaving cycle in case of sterilizing filtration and re-using. The integrity testing can be performed using automatic integrity test devices, for example TECHNOCHECK series.
KFM.K Capsules are compatible with wide variety of chemical substances.
For detailed instructions on operation Capsules please contact technical specialists of Technofilter RME.

Quality and Certification
All membrane filter elements used for production of KFM.K Capsules are subjected to wash out from organic and mechanical impurities with high-purity water and to 100% integrity control.
KFM.K Capsules are added to the Register of Medical Devices of the Ministry of health of the Russian Federation.
The Capsules are certified for use in Medical Industry and Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, they are authorized to use in Food industry. Safety of filter cartridges is determined by a series of sanitary and chemical tests, and toxicology tests in compliance with GOST R ISO 10993.1-99, GOST R ISO 10993.5-99, GOST R ISO 10993.10-00.
