Description

General description

Clarigard^® filters 99.99% retention characteristic makes them ideal for the protection of critical downstream process steps such as membrane filters or chromatography columns. The graded-density depth structure of Clarigard^® filter media provides maximum filtration capacity, and the polypropylene construction offers low extractable levels and broad chemical compatibility.

Preparation Note

Sterilization: May be autoclaved for 10 cycles of 30 minutes at 126 °C or steam sterilized for 10 cycles of 30 minutes at 126 °C or hot water sanitized at 80 °C maximum for 30 minutes.

Analysis Note

Gravimetric Extractables: After autoclaving and a 24-hour soak in ASTM^® Type 1 reagent grade water at controlled room temperature, meets the USP Oxidizable Substances Test requirements of <10 mg.
