AcroPak™ 20 Filters with Supor™ membrane, a Pall Life Sciences product, deliver efficient processing of liquid volumes up to 2 L.
Supor membrane has high flow rates and throughputs, and is ideal for solutions where low protein binding is required. Not recommended for use with some ketones.
Efficiently processes up to 2 L of chemical and biological fluids.
Sterilization by gamma irradiation eliminates potential contamination by EtO residuals.
Upstream vent prevents vapor lock.
Built-in prefilter extends filter life when particulate-laden solutions such as serum-containing media are processed.
