4) KleanAssure Gamma Irradiation Sterilizable PES Membrane Capsule Filters
Summary
Source KleanAssure Gamma Irradiation Sterilizable PES Membrane Capsule Filters from MS for small-to-medium volume biopharmaceutical filtration with built-in bleed valves for efficient air and liquid evacuation. The naturally gamma-stable PES membrane requires no pre-wetting agents, and all units are 100% integrity-tested.
Introduction
Buy KleanAssure Gamma Irradiation Sterilizable PES Membrane Capsule Filters from MS when your operation handles small-to-medium volumes in production, laboratory or pilot runs and you want bleed valves that simplify priming. The PES membrane is naturally gamma-radiation stable and hydrophilic, and the bleed valves support efficient evacuation for full membrane wetting from the first cycle.
Application Insights: Where Bleed Valves Help
Cell culture media: efficient air evacuation supports complete membrane wetting.
Large volume parenterals: bleed valves simplify priming.
Pharmaceutical bulk chemicals: practical start-up for batch processing.
Diagnostics: compact capsule suits small-volume reagent filtration.
Purified water: point-of-use polishing with simple start-up.
Quick Troubleshooting Tips
Incomplete wetting: open bleed valve fully and confirm fluid reaches it before closing.
Low flow: verify bleed valve is closed during operation and check upstream restrictions.
High pressure rise: consider larger area or upstream prefiltration.
