Industry’s Filtration Partner
Our commitment to validation is based upon the FDA Guidelines that we establish documented evidence of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specification and quality attributes. Memtrex MP-S (MMPS) filters (Figure 1) are designed for final sterile filtration of biological and pharmaceutical products. The double-layer PES membrane provides low protein-binding, high throughput, broad chemical compatibility, and reliable bacteria retentionmore

    Additional Information

    N/A

    • Memtrex MP-S filters may be autoclaved or in situ steam sterilized (up to 257ºF [125ºC], 30-minute cycles) for a maximum accumulated exposure of 10 hours. Alternately, the filters may be sanitized with compatible chemical agents.
    • GE certifies that the material contained in its Memtrex MP-S pleated filters meet U.S. FDA requirements for food contact under the applicable regulations in 21 CFR. For further information, contact GE technical services. Memtrex MP-S filters meet the test criteria for USP class VI-121ºC Plastics.
    • Aqueous extracts from Memtrex MP-S filters contain less that 0.25 EU/ml. The filters typically exhibit low levels of non-volatile residues.
    • GE filter cartridges are designed and manufactured for resistance to a wide range of chemical solutions. Conditions will vary with each application and users should carefully verify chemical compatibility. Please contact your GE distributor for more information.
