BNM Filters

For bioburden control in water, solvents, and aqueous solutions.

The BNM cartridge and capsule filters are made with Nylon 6,6 membrane. These long-proven filters are used for bioburden control in water, solvents and aqueous solutions. Pore sizes range from 0.10 to 0.65 µm and the filter sizes scale from laboratory to full production using identical materials to ensure consistent results.

BNM filters have broad chemical compatibility, making them well-suited for the filtration of solvents and other harsh chemicals. They are used to prevent bacteria contamination and remove microbials before final sterilizing filters.

The BNM filters have high retention and throughput. They are flushed to remove manufacturing debris and reduce extractables. Products are 100% integrity tested. BNM capsules are available pre-sterilized.

 Validation

BNM filters are validated using test procedures that comply with ASTM F 838-15(ae1) protocols for the determination of bacterial retention in filters used for liquid filtration. The filters are challenged with the organisms listed below.

  • 0.10μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
  • 0.22μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
  • 0.45μm: Serratia marcescens
  • 0.65μm: Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Quality Assurance

BNM filters are 100% integrity tested. CPF filters are developed and manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System and designed to be used in cGMP-compliant processes. 

BNM Cartridges 

Available from 5-40 inches in length with several end connections and O-ring options.
