Sterimem final membrane cartridges are 0.45
micron, 30”, Code 7 filters appropriate for the
filtration of wine, sparkling wine, cider, and other
beverages. These cartridges are integrity testable
and preserve sensory characteristics while ensuring
microbial stabilization.
The inert and highly asymmetric polyether sulfone
(PES) membrane provides validated microbial
retention to typical spoilage organisms. Combined
with hydrophilic properties for easy integrity testing,
Sterimem filters provide assured performance
throughout their service life.
