Pur-MAXX E-SG
Dual Layer Pleated Polyethersulfone Membrane Sterilizing Grade Cartridge
The Pur-MAXX E-SG is engineered to meet the highest standards of microorganism control for sterile fluids. Pur-Maxx E-SG filter element is validated for complete removal of Brevundimonas diminuta (ATCC 19146) at test concentrations of 107 CFU/cm2 (Colony Forming Units). This product is ideally suited for applications where microorganism contamination causes product defects or extra processing time due to increase fluid instability.
Pur-Maxx E-SG is produced utilizing a unique multi-pleated configuration integrating highly asymmetric and hydrophillic polyethersulfone membrane with exceptional pleat support materials. This novel multi-pleated approach increases cartridge life, strength and durability. This structural product enhancement allows our filter cartridges to withstand multiple sterilization cycles without sacrificing product integrity.
This Sterilizing Grade pleated cartridge complies with FDA CFR Title 21 and USP Biological Reactivity for Class VI Plastics. By combining these ultra pure components with the low protein binding features of highly asymmetric hydrophillic polyethersulfone membrane makes Pur-Maxx E-SG perfect for applications in the biopharmaceutical, and bottled water industries.
