Nylon Membrane Cartridge, 0.10 Micron Rating, PNM-10
PNM grade Nylon cartridges are designed to be used as sterilizing grade cartridges for the pharmaceutical industry. The higher the quality nylon membrane utilized in these cartridges is optimized for retention so that it need not be double layered for extra security. Nylon cartridges see broad service in sterile fill applications in SVPs and as bio burden management filters in LVPs. Media and service liquid filtration are other common applications for this cartridge. Nylon is particularly suited for the filtration of solvents because of it's broad compatibility and low level of extractables.

Validation
PNM grade cartridges are validated using modified HIMA protocols at a challenge level of 107 organisms per cm2 of filter media. (0.22 um challenged with Brevundimonas diminutal) (0.45 um challenged with Serratia marscecens) (0.65 um challenged with Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Validation guide is available for 0.22 micron to meet regulatory requirements.
