Challenge Pore® PES Low Protein-Binding Hydrophilic Filters - China Factory Suppliers for Biopharmaceutical Filtration Solutions

,

The Challenge IM Capsule Filters are designed to meet the diverse needs of the biopharmaceutical industry, covering five essential series: clarification, pre-filtration & sterilizing-grade, sterile, mycoplasma removal, and gas filtration. With particle retention ranging from 0.1 to 30 µm, these filters serve all process requirements from cell culture clarification to final product sterilization. Manufactured in China, our factory produces filters that support high-temperature steam sterilization and gamma irradiation, compatible with a wide range of commonly used biopharmaceutical solvents. All molded parts and sealing components are free from colorants and adhere to Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, ensuring minimal leachables and extractables for hygienic processing. Each product undergoes dual integrity testing during production with two independent test methods required for release, guaranteeing a 100% factory pass rate. Our filters meet ISO 9001 quality management and GMP standards and have successfully passed USP endotoxin, USP / biocompatibility, and USP extractables tests, posing no animal-derived TSE/BSE risk. As leading suppliers in filtration solutions, we take pride in our products being validated by multiple internationally recognized agencies such as SGS and NF, ensuring fully verified and reliable filtration solutions for the entire biopharmaceutical process.
