Features and Benefits
BPS is a family of biological grade, single and dual layer Polyethersulfone (PES) filters. They are designed with a single Asymmetric PES membrane and have the option of adding a High Capacity PES prefilter layer.
Delivers high flow across a wide pH range
Low binding characteristics (much lower than cellulose acetate and nylon) for filtering liquids with preservatives and proteins that can adsorb to media
Optional integrated prefilter saves space by eliminating separate prefilter and housing
Prefilter extends the life of the final filter
Validation
BPS filters are validated for bioburden control using test procedures that comply with ASTM F 838-15(ae1) protocols for the determination of bacterial reduction in filters used for liquid filtration. The filters are challenged with the organisms listed below.
0.03μm: Acholeplasma laidlawii
0.10μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
0.22μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
0.45μm: Serratia marcescens
0.65μm: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Validation Guides are available upon request.
Quality Assurance
BPS filters are 100% integrity tested. CPF filters are developed and manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System and designed to be used in cGMP-compliant processes.
