BECODISC BP
Eaton’s BECODISC BP stacked disc cartridges meet the exact requirements of the pharmaceutical industry and provide high endotoxin retention on a wide range of pharmaceutical products.
The exceptional pure raw materials and the special production method used to manufacturer the BP stacked disc cartridges result in a low endotoxin content, < 0.125 EU/ml after rinsing with 1.23 gal/ft² (50 l/m²) of WFI (Water for Injection).
FILTER MATERIAL
Cellulose with mineral components
RETENTION
Coarse, clarifying, fine filtration; Microbial reduction and removal
MAX. OPERATING TEMPERATURE
FDA, EC1935/2004; Validation Guide available
Core features
- Greatest possible endotoxin retention as well as a maximum germ retention rate
- A special manufacturing process and achieves a low endotoxin content
- Maximum raw material purity for minimum migration of soluble ions
- The ideal combination of filtration-active and adsorptive properties ensures maximum reliability
- Comprehensive quality assurance for all raw and auxiliary materials, and intensive in-process controls ensure consistent quality of the finished products
- Pyrogen content of <0.125 EU ml-1 in all BECODISC BP stacked disc cartridges is tested based on the LAL test. A certificate is available upon request.
Germ-reducing Filtration
BECODISC B01P, B02P, B04P
BECODISC stacked disc cartridges boast high germ retention rates achieved through the fine-pored structure and an electrokinetic potential with an adsorptive effect. These stacked disc cartridges are characterized by high endotoxin retention rates. Due to their great retention capacity for colloidal components, these filter sheets are particularly suitable as prefilters for subsequent membrane filtration.
Fine Filtration
BECODISC B08P
BECODISC stacked disc cartridges for achieving a high degree of clarification. These stacked disc cartridges reliably retain ultra-fine particles and have a germ reducing effect. They are used in practice as ideal pre-filters for membrane filters, reverse osmosis systems, and to protect chromatography columns.
Clarifying Filtration
BECODISC B20P, B40P
BECODISC stacked disc cartridges with a large-volume pore structure. These stacked disc cartridges have a high dirt holding capacity for particles and are very suitable for clarifying filtration applications.
