amcHydroFlow cartridge is a filter specifically designed for reduction of bioburden and particulate levels to protect final 0.1 and 0.2 um system filters.  The filter medium is amcAccupor membrane, i.e., modified polyethersulfone hydrophilic membrane developed by AMC for various applications.

amcHydroFlow cartridge is designed for low cost, higher throughput than Nylon, PVDF, or cellulose esters membrane cartridge.
