- High hydrophobicity
- High air flow rates
- Low Bioburden, <1000 cfu/device
- Endotoxin level certified to be <0.25 EU/ml
- Widest range of end connections
- Products available for total scalability from seed reactors process scale bioreactors/fermentors
- Total traceability (unique serial number for each filter)
- Individual certificate of quality for each device
- Sterilizable by Gamma irradiation
- Sterile air sparging
- Sterile venting
- Fermentor exhaust
