amcAccupor AS membrane is a microporous membrane made of modified polyethersulfone.  It is manufactured using a proprietary procedure to create a highly asymmetric structure through the depth of membrane.  

amcAccupor AS membrane is inherently hydrophilic and provides high flow rate, low extractables, and great mechanical strength.  It is suitable for electronic, pharmaceutical, food/beverage, and other filtration applications.  

amcAccupor AS membrane is available in 0.02 µm, 0.03 µm, 0.1 µm, 0.2 µm, 0.45 µm, 0.65 µm, and 0.8 µm pore size and in a roll form typically at 10-inch width format, and at 20-inch width format under special request.

 

Performance Advantages

  • High flow rates and throughputs allowing faster filtration times
  • Low protein binding and high drug compatibility to maximize recovery of critical media components
  • No external wetting agents added to avoid the introduction of unwanted extractables into your solution
  • High durability permitting repeated folding without breaking
  • High thermal stability which permits autoclave sterlization
  • Versayile sterilizability enabling sterilization by gamma radiation or Eto                                                                                        

Features/Benefits

  • Manufactured under stringent conditions  to ensure highest level of quality and consistency
  • High throughputs to minimize filter change during batch processing
  • Chemically resistant aromatic polymer menbrane to eliminate problems associated with hydrolysis of the filter media during use
  • Low extractables to assure product purity
