3 autoclave cycles of 60 min at 123 °C; not in-line steam sterilizable
This product was manufactured with a MILLIPORE EXPRESS® 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.
TOC/Conductivity: After sterilization and a controlled water flush of 2.5 L, samples exhibited &#x3C 500 ppb TOC per USP &#x3C 643 &#x3C and &#x3C 1.3 μS/cm per USP &#x3C 645 &#x3C at 25 °C.
Will meet the USP Oxidizable Substances Test requirements after a water flush of ≥ 1 L
