General description

Millipak® membrane products are designed for routine filtration applications in the laboratory. Millipak® filters are best-in-class, proven products used in lab water purification systems to remove bacteria and particulates to benefit the stringent requirements of scientific applications.

Application

Purified water filtered through a Millipak® 40 filter can be used for any laboratory application sensitive to bacteria and/or particulates.

Features and Benefits

  • Millipak® membrane filters are made with Durapore® PVDF membranes, providing high flow rates and throughputs, low extractable and broad chemical compatibility.
  • The membrane is supported by a rigid plastic disc with channels that ensures high water flow and resistance to pressure variations without the risk of membrane rupture.
  • Millipak® membrane filters use a unique, clean stacked disc design, allowing minimal hold-up volume and particle shedding.
  • Connect to the outlet of the water delivery point, such as the PODs of Milli-Q® water purification systems.
  • The protective bell protects against intrusion of airborne contamination during dispensing.
  • Care-free maintenance: the filter is easily fitted and replaced.

Preparation Note

This product was manufactured with a Durapore® membrane which meets the criteria for a "non-fiber releasing" filter as defined in 21 CFR 210.3 (b) (6).

Analysis Note

Bacterial Retention
Samples were quantitatively retentive of a minimum Brevundimonas diminuta challenge concentration of 1 x 10⁷ CFU/cm² using ASTM® F838 methodology.
Gravimetric Extractables: after 24 hours in water at controlled room temperature
