steam sterilization

steam sterilizing temperature (in situ or autoclave)	maximum recommended cumulative steam life
125 °c	10 hours

further details on steam sterilization are available by contacting pall

extractables¹

typical aqueous extractables per 254 mm (10 in.) module	40 mg

¹ non-volatile residues from autoclaved elements after hour reciprocation in deionized water

microbial and particulate removal efficiency

challenge contaminant	typical removal efficiency 2,4
brevundimonas diminuta	tr> 102
aqueous suspension of ac fine test dust3	ß> 5000 at 0.5 渭m4

² titer reduction (tr) = total no. organisms influent to filter
                                   no. organisms detected in effluent
^{3/up> prformance measured using the pall f2 test. contact pall for further details.
4 ß =  no particles> given size in influent
         no particles> given size in effluent
  ß 5000 corresponds to a 99.98% removal efficiency}
