Starclear™ Filter Cartridges by Pall Life Sciences Products - Biopharmaceutical Division

Revolutionary New Construction
Starclear pleated filters are constructed using a totally new technique based on a composite design.

The unique built-in depth prefiltration layer, constructed from pleated Profile Star filter medium provides:

• Graded pore-size distribution from coarse (upstream) to fine (downstream)
• Constant void-volume
• Exceptionally high dirt-holding capacity
• The inner section, constructed from Ultipor GF Plus glass fiber filter medium with a fine pore structure, ensures high removal efficiency and long service life

Exceptional Performance

Starclear filter cartridges provide reliable and cost effective sub-micron filtration with the following benefits:

• Absolute filtration, ensuring consistent, reproducible performance
   - no fiber shedding
   - no unloading
• Built-in prefiltration for
   - high dirt-holding capacity
   - long-life
   - smaller installations
• High flow-rates enabling
   - faster production times
   - smaller installations with less product loss and lower costs
• Positive zeta potential for the removal of fine contaminants such as
   - bacteria
   - viruses
   - endotoxins
   - haze particles
• Total Commitment to Quality and Excellence
  Starclear filters are manufactured under a Quality Management System certified to ISO 9000.
