Pall Supor® UEAV Filter Capsules Offer High Flow Rates and Extended Service Life

Designed specifically for the Biopharmaceutical industry’s ever increasing demands for smaller filtration installations capable of as good or better throughputs and flow rates, Pall product design engineers have developed the new Supor UEAV filter cartridges and capsules.

The Supor UEAV is an unconventional bioburden reduction filter that utilizes multiple patented filtration advances including Pall’s new Mach V technology polyethersulfone membrane and the new CapsulesPall pleating technique called Ultipleat®.
MachV's highly hydrophilic polyethersulfone membrane with its asymmetric pore structure allows the UEAV to possess superior “dirt holding capacity” for even the finest particles. This feature translates into an impressively long filtration life even with complex biological fluids.

Add to this the robust design advances of Ultipleat® cartiridge construction and the result is a filter with significantly longer service life, higher throughput yields, and lower pressure drops covering a plethora of biologic process applications. All these features translate into higher yields, increased safety, less processing time, less filter handling, less filter cartridge waste and less cost.

Quality and bio-safety is not sacrificed as all versions of the Supor UEAV are Pharmaceutical grade, serial numbered for lot tracing, 100% integrity tested prior to leaving the ISO 9001 certified factory, and accompanied by “P” Certificates confirming the pharmaceutical requirements:

• Cleanliness per USP Particulates in injectables on Fiber-Releasing per 21 CFR 
• Non-Pyrogenic per USP Bacterial Endotoxins (< 0.25 EU/ mL) 
• Meets total organic carbon (TOC) and conductivity per USP Purified Water, pH per USP Sterile Purified Water 
• Meets USP pH-shift per USP Sterile Purified Water 
• Meets USP biological reactivity in vivo, for Class VI 121°C plastics

The Supor UEAV is an integrity testable, steam sterilizable, 0.2um particulate-grade rated filter with a Forward Flow test correlated titer reduction of 1 X 106 when challenged with aqueous suspensions of Brevundimonas diminuta (ATCC 19146). Materials of construction are limited to two: polyethersulfone and polypropylene. Effective membrane surface area is a remarkable 11.4 ft per 10” cartridge or capsule.
