SupaPore TP
SupaPore TP Microfiltration cartridges have been designed specifically for use in a wide range of aggressive gas and liquid processing applications. Its naturally hydrophobic PTFE membrane makes this cartridge an ideal choice for systems requiring excellent compatibility, reliability, and a consistently high-quality filtrate.
Product Features
SupaPore TP cartridges feature:
- A naturally hydrophobic PTFE membrane
- 0.2µm rated filter in liquids and 0.02µm in gases
- Polypropylene support
- Minimal fibre migration
- Wide chemical compatibility
- Validation by bacterial and aerosolised bacteriophage challenge
- Junior cartridge available
All cartridges are thermally bonded and adhesive-free. Each unit is pre-flushed with ultra-pure water and integrity tested before final assembly.
- Can be steam sterilised
- Sanitisable
- Meet current US FDA CFR Title 21 requirements
- Fully integrity testable by Water Intrusion, Bubble Point or Diffusion Flow test¹
- All B grade modules are integrity tested during manufacture
Available in a wide range of grades & absolute rated pore sizes:
- 0.1µm, 0.2µm, 0.45µm, 1.0µm, and solvent grade
- General Grade
- Biological Grade
Suitable for most sanitisation regimes including steaming, autoclaving, hot water flush, and most common sanitising agents. Note: Steaming, autoclaving, and hot water sanitisation must use the Reinforced Polypropylene End Cap option.
Amazon Filters manufactures a comprehensive range of filter housings for SupaPore TP cartridges, including the industrial 50 and 60 Series and the 70 Series for hygienic applications. Please consult our Sales Office for further details on the full range.
