Product details

3M™ LifeASSURE™ PLA Series Filter Cartridges feature our multi-zone microporous membrane technology, allowing great flexibility in creating a multi‐zone membrane that offers excellent contaminant holding capacity, while maintaining high retention efficiency. The Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) design allows maximum fluid and contaminant access to filter surface area for high throughput. They’re available with 0.2 µm and 0.45 µm bioburden reduction membranes. LifeASSURE™ PLA filters are not sterilising grade filters as defined in FDA Guidance.
  • Multi-zone microporous nylon membrane offers maximum membrane protection and increased contaminant capacity.
  • Advanced Pleat Technology construction allows maximum fluid and contaminant access to filter surface area for highest throughput.
  • 100% Integrity testing prior to release ensures consistent performance.
  • Available with 0.2 µm and 0.45 µm bioburden reduction membranes.

Suggested Applications

  • Use for pre-filtration and clarification in the pharmaceutical, biological and bioprocess industries
