Application – Air filtration in controlled environments
Product Overview
The Whatman HEPA-VENT 50GF is a high-performance air filtration unit designed for critical laboratory applications requiring sterile conditions. Engineered with a HEPA-grade filter medium, it effectively captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 micrometers, ensuring ultra-clean airflow in laminar flow hoods, biosafety cabinets, and other controlled environments. The filter’s robust construction features a hydrophobic membrane that prevents microbial penetration while maintaining high airflow rates, minimizing pressure drop. Its compact, lightweight design allows for easy installation and replacement without compromising workspace efficiency. The 50GF model is particularly suited for applications where consistent air quality is non-negotiable, such as in cell culture labs, pharmaceutical processing, or any setting where particulate contamination must be rigorously controlled. The filter’s compatibility with standard ventilation systems makes it a versatile choice for upgrading existing setups. Each unit undergoes stringent quality checks to meet international filtration standards, providing reliable performance even under prolonged use. The pack of 10 ensures cost-effective stocking for labs with regular filtration needs, reducing downtime between replacements.
FAQs
1. What is the filtration efficiency of Whatman HEPA-VENT 50GF?
The filter retains 99.97% of particles sized 0.3 micrometers or larger, meeting HEPA standards for high-efficiency air purification.
2. Can this filter be autoclaved for sterilization?
No, the HEPA-VENT 50GF is not autoclavable. It is designed for single-use applications to maintain sterility.
3. How often should the filter be replaced?
