3M™ LifeASSURE™ PFS Series Filter Cartridge, PFS020A03BC, 30 in, 0.2 um, 226/Spear, EPR, 6/Case

Hot water sanitization of 3M Filters

Hot water sanitation is required in many applications to reduce bioburden populations and provide a sanitized (not sterile) environment. Hot water sanitation is generally preferred over chemical sanitation.

LifeASSURE™ PFS Series PTFE Filters

LifeASSURE™ PFS series PTFE filters offer the ultimate in microorganism retention for air and gas streams while providing superior air flow capacity. 3M™ Purification Inc.'s LifeASSURE™ PFS series PTFE filters with flow enhanced construction allow use of smaller, more economical air filter assemblies compared to competitive air filters. LifeASSURE™ PFS series PTFE filters provide absolute retention based on liquid bacteria challenge and aerosol bacteriophage challenge. LifeASSURE™ PFS series PTFE filters are available in a wide range of cartridge and capsule configurations to provide the most economical solution to air, gas and aggressive liquid filtration applications.

Technical Brief

Compressed gas and tank vent filters are typically sterilized in-place as part of the production process system to ensure the equipment has maintained sterility after in situ sterilization and that the equipment is ready to receive sterile product. Compressed gas and tank vent filters are non-product contact filters and are usually used over an extended period of time as compared to liquid filters that are typically discarded after a single product batch has been filtered. Hydrophobic compressed gas and tank vent filters are typically subjected to multiple sterilizations and; therefore, integrity tested multiple times as compared to filters used in liquid filtration applications.
