Pall Palltronic Compact 200 Filter Integrity Test Unit

• Used for validating the integrity of sterilising-grade filters in pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing.
• Essential for quality control in aseptic processing to ensure product sterility.
• Applied in research and development for filter characterisation and process optimisation.
• Utilised in food and beverage industries for critical filtration steps where sterility is paramount.

Typical capacity

Designed for testing single filter cartridges or small filter housings, typically up to 10-inch or 20-inch filters.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard single-phase mains power, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz.

Test methods

Typically performs bubble point, diffusion, and water intrusion tests.

Pressure range

Units of this type commonly feature an operating pressure range suitable for most filter integrity tests, often up to 6 bar (90 psi).

Connectivity

Often includes ports for external printer, data export (e.g., USB, serial), and network connection for data management.

Footprint

As a 'Compact' model, it typically has a relatively small benchtop footprint, suitable for laboratory or production line use.
