3M™ LifeASSURE™ PDA Series Filter Capsule
About the product
We combine two asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membrane layers with our Advanced Pleat Technology in manufacturing LifeASSURE™ PDA Series Filter Capsule. This creates a filter with high throughput and fast flow. These filters have applications in pre-filtration and sterilizing filtration in the pharmaceutical, biological, and bioprocess industries where low protein binding is critical.

Engineered for Quality and Reliability
The 3M Purification Inc. Quality Management System is approved by an accredited registering body to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems, and the cartridges are 100% forward flow integrity tested prior to shipment. We ship all LifeASSURE™ PDA cartridge and capsule filters with a Certificate of Quality affirming compliance with manufacturing quality specifications. Additionally, supporting Drug Master File (DMF) documentation is on file with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a complete LifeASSURE PDA Validation Guide is available upon request.
Meeting Your Scale-Up Needs
We are pleased to offer a full range of LifeASSURE™ PDA sterilizing-grade filters to meet your scale-up process needs. This includes pre-sterilized or sterilizable disposable capsules in various sizes as well as full-size cartridges. We also offer filter discs and 50 mm capsules when even smaller membrane surface areas are required.
- Validated 0.2 and 0.1 micron rated membrane provides reliable sterilizing filtration
- Excellent contaminant capacity, flow rates, and life resulting from robust double-asymmetric membrane layer filter construction
- Hydrophilic asymmetric polyethersulfone membrane enables wet out in aqueous solutions for integrity testing
- Advanced Pleat Technology construction increases the useful surface area by increasing the flow paths between media pleats
- 100% forward flow Integrity tested prior to release
- Both pre-sterilized and sterilizable LifeASSURE™ PDA capsules are available
