Description
All-polypropylene pleated filters with high flow and high contaminant holding capacity for longer on-stream life
An Introduction to Q Grade
The application of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) within Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) processes as described in the ICHQ7A guidance document is becoming increasingly important. Pall® Q Grade cartridges are high quality, economical filters aimed specifically at applications within API processes. These products are supplied with a’Q’ certificate of quality, incorporating essential product and manufacturing quality details.
Poly-Fine II filter cartridges (Q Grade) are all-polypropylene pleated filters with high flow and high contaminant holding capacity for longer on-stream life. The filter media is produced by Pall using a proprietary melt-blowing process that delivers exceptional product consistency. Poly-Fine II filter cartridges (Q Grade) are ideally suited to the capture of non-deformable particles from compatible liquid or inert gas feed streams, characterized by a narrow particle size distribution.
