설명
A unique three-layer construction contributes to outstanding throughput, high flow rates, and the superior retention of bacteria and mycoplasma during the filtration of process fluids.
The Pall patented Ultipleat® modular cartridge pleating design in combination with a narrow core ensures high effective filtration areas, small foot-print filter systems, and improved process efficiencies in these0.1 micron capsule filters. A complete validation package supports the assurance of safety within your process.
Pall’s range of Kleenpak™ Nova capsules are designed for use in medium to large scale production environments (100 L > 1000 L), often selected by the end-user following scaling studies using smaller Kleenpak capsule formats. With the AB style cartridge format at its core, this capsule filter style can be supplied with the most comprehensive range of filter media.
