PE/PA Membrane Filter Cartridge 0.22 Micron 10 Inch for Sterile Filtration in Biotech Manufacturing
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory is proud to present our PE/PA Membrane Filter Cartridge – a precision-engineered solution for sterile filtration in biotech manufacturing. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million and a global presence across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, we combine decades of filtration expertise with rigorous quality control. This 0.22 micron, 10-inch cartridge is designed to deliver absolute bacteria retention, high flow rates, and consistent performance, making it an ideal choice for critical applications such as pharmaceutical water, buffer solutions, and fermentation media.
Key Features & Specifications
- Dual-Layer Membrane Structure: PE (polyethylene) pre-filter layer combined with PA (polyamide) final membrane ensures high dirt-holding capacity and reliable 0.22 micron absolute filtration.
- High Flow & Low Pressure Drop: Optimized pleat design maximizes effective filtration area, reducing energy consumption and extending service life.
- Chemical Compatibility: Resistant to a wide range of solvents, acids, and alkalis (pH 2-12), suitable for aggressive biotech processes.
- Thermal Stability: Can withstand repeated autoclave sterilization (121°C) or in-line steam sterilization (134°C) without degradation.
- Low Extractables: Manufactured with pure materials and no binders, meeting USP <87> and USP <88> cytotoxicity standards (test results available upon request).
- Multiple End Configurations: Available with 222/226 O-ring, flat gasket, or DOE (double open end) to fit standard housings.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Can this cartridge be used for sterilizing gases?
A: Yes, the 0.22 micron rating is suitable for sterile gas filtration (e.g., air, nitrogen). However, for absolute sterility in gases, we recommend a hydrophilic filter with a downstream vent. -
Q: How do I sterilize the filter before use?
A: The cartridge can be autoclaved at 121°C for 30 minutes or steam sterilized in-line at 134°C for 20 minutes. Ensure the housing is compatible. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this cartridge?
A: Lifespan depends on feed water quality and operating conditions. In typical biotech water systems, a 10-inch cartridge can last 2-4 weeks before replacement. We recommend monitoring differential pressure. -
Q: Does this cartridge contain any adhesives or binders?
A: No, the PE/PA membrane is thermally bonded without adhesives, minimizing extractables and ensuring purity. -
Q: Is the cartridge compatible with 10% sodium hypochlorite for cleaning?
A: Yes, short-term exposure (up to 30 minutes) to 10% NaOCl is acceptable for chemical cleaning. Always rinse thoroughly with WFI after cleaning. -
Q: Can I request a filter validation guide?
A: Absolutely. We provide validation documents including bacterial retention, extractables, and integrity test protocols upon request. -
Q: What gasket materials are available?
A: Standard materials are silicone, EPDM, and Viton. Custom options are available for special chemical compatibility. -
Q: How do I ensure the correct end cap for my housing?
A: Please provide your housing model or the type of O-ring/gasket seat. Our technical team can recommend the appropriate configuration (222, 226, flat gasket, or DOE).
