Whatman 2108 PolyVENT/ SteriVENT 150, 0.2 micrometer Pore Size, Capsule, 1

The Whatman SteriVENT 150 capsule filter is designed for sterile venting of tanks, vessels, and bioprocess containers. It allows air or gas to move in and out of the system while preventing bacteria and contaminants from entering the vessel during filling, draining, or fermentation processes.

A 0.2 micrometer pore size is commonly used for sterile filtration because it can effectively retain bacteria and microorganisms. This helps maintain sterile conditions in laboratory or bioprocess systems where contamination control is critical.

The SteriVENT capsule typically features a hydrophobic PTFE membrane with a polypropylene housing. This combination provides strong chemical resistance and durability while maintaining high filtration efficiency for gas and air filtration.

Yes. These vent filters are designed to tolerate sterilization processes such as steam autoclaving or ethylene oxide sterilization, allowing them to be used in controlled laboratory or bioprocess environments where sterility must be maintained.

SteriVENT filters are widely used in biotechnology, pharmaceutical production, fermentation processes, and laboratory research. They help maintain sterile air exchange in systems such as fermentation tanks, media containers, and storage vessels.
