Features

Advantages

Proprietary polyamide hydrophilic membrane Nylon6+66 with a wide range of pore sizes

  • Wide chemical compatibility.
  • Easy to wet to perform the filtration and tests.
  • Applied to solve a wide range of tasks – from preliminary purification to biological filtration and sterilization.

Large filtration surface area

  • High lifetime and filtration rate at low differential pressure.

High strength of the cartridge structure

  • Reliable maintenance of filter integrity under heavy duty operational conditions.
  • Able to withstand autoclaving and in-line steam sterilization.

100% integrity control

Nontoxic, Apyrogenic

  • Guaranteed integrity and efficient operation of the product.
  • Provide full retention of bacteria, bacteriophages and particles in high flow rate processes of liquids filtration.
  • Passed all necessary tests for biological safety, extractability, pyrogene and fiber emission.
  • Provided with necessary quality certificates.

Main applications

  • In medicine and biopharmacy for removal of mechanical contaminants and clarifying of parenteral and ophthalmic solutions, antibiotics, culture, bacterial and enzymatic media, biologics and vaccines, vitamin and galenic preparations, buffer solutions, water for pharmaceutical use (water for injection, pyrogen-free water, water for rinsing, etc.).
  • In beverage industry for biological, cold and polishing filtration of beer, wine, liqueurs of premium-class quality, for microbiological treatment of still bottled water, for finish filtration of low-alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, recipes and rinsing water. 
  • In microelectronics, radiotechnics and biochemistry for finish treatment of deionized water.
  • In other industries for fine filtration of liquid media from particles ≥ 0.1 μm.

Safety

EPM.K membrane-based filter cartridges are produced in accordance with the regulatory technical documents on product quality and are certified for use in the filtration processes of biopharmaceutical solutions. All EPM.K filter elements are subjected to wash out from organic and mechanical impurities with high-purity water and to 100% integrity control.

Wash out, integrity control, drying, final assembly and packaging of membrane filter cartridges is carried out in special clean rooms C and D (ISO class 6 and 7) according to the classification of clean rooms in the pharmaceutical industry.

EPM.K membrane-based elements undergo tests for bacterial and toxicological safety.

Materials used in the construction of filters have a minimal amount of extractable components and are approved for contact with intravenous drugs and food.
