The document describes HIGH FLOW BIO-X Vent Autoclave filter cartridges which are designed to provide sterile air and break the vacuum inside autoclaves. The cartridges use a PTFE impregnated borosilicate glass microfiber medium that removes particles down to 0.01 micron, ensuring removal of microorganisms. They are heat sealed without adhesives and provide high flow rates while meeting HTM10 and EN285 standards for repeated autoclaving.

Filter Cartridges • air / gas filters • PTFE impregnated borosilicate glass microfibre
HIGH FLOW BIO-X Vent Autoclave filter cartridges are designed
for critical applications where sterile air is required to break the vacuum formed by the condensation of steam inside the autoclave chamber.
At the heart of the HIGH FLOW BIO-X Vent Autoclave filter
cartridge is the latest inherently hydrophobic PTFE impregnated microfibre. With a voids volume of 94%, this media gives exceptional flow rates when compared to membranes. It will remove all particles down to 0.01 micron therefore ensuring the removal of micro-organisms including bacteria and viruses. The filter cartridges are manufactured using a heat sealed construction and no adhesives or resins are used in fabrication. The result, a product of not only exceptional quality, but also a very cost effective solution for the production of sterile air.
