Primary applications include: Buffer media and reagent manufacturing, protein purification and cell culture and bioburden filtration.

Supor PES (polyethersulfone):
With high flow and capacity, broad fluid compatibility, low protein adsorption, active ingredients and stabilisers, Pall PES membranes are best suited for filtration of preparative fluids such as buffers, media and bioprocess intermediates.

Supor EKV Asymmetric PES:
PES filters with asymmetric membrane layers have the same benefits of Supor PES (above), but with additional debris holding. This makes them ideal for high turbidity, high bioburden solutions. All Supor EKV products are a 0,65 µm pre-filter and a 0,2 µm asymmetric membrane.

Fluorodyne II PVDF (hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride):
Low extractables, low product and excipient adsorption, simple validation for the sterilisation of a wide range of formulations make PVDF membranes ideal for final filtration.
