Guide for Filtration Volumes and Filter Sizes in Pharmaceutical & Biological Applications

At International Filter Products Inc., we specialize in advanced filtration solutions tailored for pharmaceutical and biological industries. Our products are designed to address the specific needs of these applications, with a focus on factors such as viscosity, active ingredients, and protein structures which significantly influence filtration efficiency.

Our diverse range includes 12 sizes and multiple micron rating combinations, including highly asymmetric dual-layer filters (0.65um / 0.2um). Due to the unique properties of each solution, we strongly recommend conducting empirical tests with your specific solution to accurately determine the optimal filtration volume and efficiency.

Explore our extensive filter selection to find the perfect match for your application requirements, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in your filtration processes.
