The Atlas Copco SME* P range has been designed for use in bioprocessing and pharmaceutical applications. It provides safe, reliable and efficient bioburden control and sterilization
of valuable liquids used in Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries. The filters effectively retain particles and micro-organisms through a single layer asymmetric, hydrophilic PES membrane characterized by low extractable and protein binding.
SME* P filters are available in a wide range cartridges, mini cartridges and capsules. All filters incorporate the same media and identical materials of construction, eliminating the need to requalify filter units as processes are scaled up.
Compatibility
SME* -P filter's hardware features polypropylene coreand cage, with a combination of nylon end supports andPET support layers to aid wettability. Thermal weldingtechniques seal all the components therefore optimizingdevice integrity, as well as assuring a broad chemical
compatibility with a large number of solvents, acids andbases. The construction guarantees a small extractablefootprint. All jointed surfaces are assembled by the use of heat sealing technology. No resins or binders are used in the manufacture of the filter and no surfactants are added to aid wetting.
Key features
• Highly efficient Mycoplasma retention
• High flow rates and low differential pressure
• Fully validated and integrity testable
• Low extractables
