MC - Sterile Gas SIP Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Capsule Filter
Masterfilter MasterSip capsule filter designed for use in sterile air and gas filtration in biopharmaceutical and other applications. Composed of a hydrophobic PTFE membrane and a polyetherimide housing, these capsule filters provide an alternative to a stainless-steel housing/filter combination and thus reduces operating costs and maintenance time. Engineered polyetherimide material allows multiple SIP (steam-in-place) cycles at high pressures and temperatures.
