Sartofluor® Filters
Sartofluor® are sterilizing grade air & gas filters that utilize Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) membranes. PTFE is a chemically extremely resistant membrane material which is also suitable for highly aggressive solvents. The optimized construction leads to a perfect hydrodynamic flow.
Requirements of Air/Gas Filtration
The air filter as a barrier needs to be highly reliable under all circumstances, i.e. pressure pulses, high steaming cycles, elevated moisture content etc. That’s why we optimized our Sartofluor® air filter cartridges to meet all the requirements with highest assurance levels.
- Highest hydrophobicity
- High flow rates at low differential pressures
- High steam cycle lifetimes
- High mechanical and thermal strength
- Reliable and validated separation of microorganisms and bacteriophage
User-Optimized
- Sterile gas filtration of fermenter inlets
- Off-gas filters downstream of fermenters or bioreactors
- Sterilizing vent filters on autoclaves and Iyophylizers (freeze dryer)
- Sterile vent filters on product tanks
- Sterile air supply for service gases, such as filling lines in blow-fill-seal machines
Sartofluor® cartridges are available in the optimum range of pore sizes: 0.45 µm, 0.2 µm and 0.1 µm.
Dependable performance at every scale
Sartofluor® filter cartridges are available from 300 m² to 2.3 cm² for single filter elements, which means you can effectively filter air from small volume bioreactor to seed and large scale fermenter venting, as well as tank venting.
