amcHydroFlow HP.pdf

amcHydroFlow HP cartridge is a precision filter specifically constructed to provide high flow rate and retention.  The filter medium is amcAccupor membrane, i.e., modified polyethersulfone hydrophilic membrane developed by AMC for rigorous operating conditions in many filtration applications.

amcHydroFlow HP cartridge is designed for final filtration when absolute retention is required, or prefiltration where highly fine particle removal is desired to protect the final filter.

Each cartridge is flushed with appropriate solvents to provide optimum cleanliness, and integrity tested to verify compliance with established pore size specifications.

amcHydroFlow HP cartridge is compatible with autoclave and in-line steam sterilization, as well as chemical sanitization methods that makes it an ideal microporous membrane cartridge for various applications.
