Description

General description

Millipak^® membrane products are designed for routine filtration applications in the laboratory. Millipak^® filters are best-in-class proven products used in lab water purification systems to provide particulate-free and bacteria-free water to benefit the stringent requirements of scientific applications.

Application

Purified water filtered through a Millipak^® 40 filter can be used for any laboratory work where water free of bacteria and/or particulates is needed.

Features and Benefits

• Millipak^® membrane filters are made with Durapore^® PVDF membranes, providing high flow rates and throughputs, low extractable and broad chemical compatibility.
• The membrane is supported by a rigid plastic disc with channels that ensures high water flow and resistance to pressure variations without the risk of membrane rupture.
• Millipak^® membrane filters use a unique, clean stacked disc design, allowing minimal hold-up volume and particle shedding.
• Connect to the outlet of the water delivery point, such as the PODs of Milli-Q^® water purification systems.
• The protective bell protects against intrusion of airborne bacteria contamination during dispensing.
• Care-free maintenance: the filter is easily fitted and replaced.

Other Notes

These products are manufactured in a facility which adheres to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices.
