Acro™ 50 vent devices with Emflon™ II membrane, a Pall Life Sciences product, with a proprietary, low pressure drop hydrophobic PVDF membrane, are well suited for use in air/gas and vent applications.
Emflon II membrane filters have a removal rating of 0.2 μm in liquid service and less than 0.02 μm particulate for air/gas applications.
Connects easily to hoses of various sizes in-line or as a final filter.
Light weight (< 27 grams) prevents crimping of tubing.
Stable with gamma irradiation.
Excellent for disposable systems. Eliminates cleaning validation.
