Sterilizing-Grade PES Filters (0.45 μm / 0.2 μm)
Alioth Alipore® ZHC flters use sterilizing-grade 0.2 µm PES membrane as the fnal fltration layer and construct with double-layer asymmetric PES membrane, which allow for various combinations of membrane pore sizes to meet the requirements for fltration precision in diferent ap-plications. The flters are suitable for a variety of sterile fltration of process fuids. Alipore® ZHC flters are validated by strict fltration perormance guarantees, with wide chemical compatibility, low protein adsorption, high fow rate and high capacity to optimize process efciency and cost efectiveness.
