Integrity Testing
Air diffusion per 10″ module after saturation with 60% IPA/40% water (by volume) solution. ≤10cc/min at 13 psig (0.90 bar). Memtrex FE-S filters meeting this specification have been demonstrated to provide sterile effluent based on B. Diminuta Challenge Testing using ASTM F838-83 methodology.

Typical Applications
MFE-S filters are specifically designed for sterile chemical, air, gas and vent filtration. Typical applications include:
- Tank Venting
- Fermentation Air Supply
- WFI Tanks
- Autoclaves
- Chemicals
- Bioreactors
General Properties
Memtrex FE-S filters are available in the following absolute pore size micron rating: 0.2 µm. Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 show further details on materials of construction, dimensions, operational limits, and flow performance in air and water.
Additional Information
- Memtrex-FE-S filters may be autoclaved at 249.8°F (121°C) or in-situ steam sterilized at 275°F (135°C) for up to 100 one-hour cycles. Steam resistance was determined using clean filters in controlled conditions; actual steam resistance may be affected by application conditions. Alternatively, the filters may be sanitized with compatible chemical agents.
- GE certifies that the material contained in its Memtrex FE-S pleated filters meet U.S. FDA requirements for food contact under the applicable regulations in 21 CFR. For further information, contact GE technical services. Memtrex FE-S filters meet the test criteria for USP class VI-121°C Plastics.
- Aqueous extracts from Memtrex FE-S filters contain less that 0.25 EU/ml. The filters typically exhibit low levels of non-volatile residues.
- GE filter cartridges are designed and manufactured for resistance to a wide range of chemical solutions. Conditions will vary with each application and users should carefully verify chemical compatibility. Please contact your GE distributor for more information.
