The Pall family of IV filters represents more 

than 5 decades of commitment to the 

research, design and manufacture of the 

highest quality filtration devices for healthcare 

applications. Integrating filtration 

devices into IV sets provides additional 

patient safety and gives medical providers 

confidence in their ability to remove air from 

the line as well as reduce risks of particulate 

contamination. 

Consider us your partner in planning,

Infusion Therapy & Drug Fluid/Delivery 

In-line membrane filters are widely used in drug and fluid 

delivery for the removal of bacteria and large aggregates 

or particulate material generated during preparation, 

handling and infusion of drug combinations used in 

various patient therapies. The performance characteristics 

of the membrane, in combination with the filter housing 

design, will determine the safety and efficacy of your 

drug infusion and delivery system. Pall offers access to 

filtration materials and devices that are non-shedding 

with low protein binding, high flow rates, absolute pore 

size ratings, biocompatibility and low extractables. Our 

membranes have been used for decades by leading 

medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers 

to ensure the safe and effective administration of intravenous 

drug preparations. As the use and benefits of 

novel therapeutics expand further, Pall’s expertise and 

technological capabilities will continue to play a key role 

in simplifying the preparation and improving the safety 

of IV drug infusions. 


Every time a liquid solution is intravenously supplied to 

a patient, the potential risk of inadvertent microbial contamination, 

as well as delivery of unwanted particles and 

air microemboli must be carefully considered. Particles, 

such as glass fragments and pieces of plastic, have been 

found in commercially prepared intravenous (IV) solutions. 

When an ampoule is broken to administer medication, 

glass particles can be drawn into the syringe along with 

the drug product and administered to a patient. Lipid 

droplets can form micelles and aggregate in solution, 

creating large lipid globules that can exceed five microns 

in size. These aggregates can become trapped in 

pulmonary capillaries, increasing the risk for infection 

and potentially hazardous immune reactions. Additionally, 

drugs such as paclitaxel, ganciclovir and mannitol may 

precipitate out of solution under certain conditions. The 

precipitated drugs can lead to vein irritation and phlebitis. 

The use of in-line filtration devices helps in preventing 

particles, aggregates and precipitated drugs from reaching 

the patient, thus helping reduce the risk of patient complications. 

Moreover, bacteria-retentive membrane devices 

can provide an effective barrier against microorganisms 

that may be introduced during preparation, handling and 

administration of parenteral solutions. 

Built on decades of experience in membrane formulation 

and manufacturing, Pall developed the first polyethersulfone 

Supor ® membrane specifically designed for medical filtration 

and contamination protection. Our comprehensive 

portfolio of devices for infusion and drug/fluid delivery 

incorporates our medical-grade Supor membrane. All 

components and materials of construction in Pall’s IV 

filtration devices meet the requirements for biosafety, 

compatibility, toxicity and other internationally recognized 

standards necessary for medical device development 

programs. Moreover, the hydrophilic nature of the Supor 

membrane allows for multiple re-primings as needed 

during patient treatment. 

Chemotherapies 

Chemotherapy has been used in the treatment of cancer 

since the 1940s. Unfortunately, while effective against 

malignant cells, chemotherapeutic agents tend to be 

highly toxic, creating the need for targeted delivery. The 

general goal of new chemotherapies is to provide more 

targeted drug delivery, lower the dosage, and hopefully, 

reduce adverse effects. Potential complications of 

traditional infusion chemotherapy include infection of 

the access site, occlusion of the route, drug toxicity, 

thrombosis, and emboli. Just one of the short-term 

common side effects associated with chemotherapy 

is venous fragility. Increased vascular fragility, bleeding 

and bruising can occur around the IV sites. In addition, 

there is a risk of developing irritation from anti-neoplastic 

agents. 

5 



The presence of particles in drug preparations is of 

particular concern when administering chemotherapeutic 

infusions. Chemotherapeutic agents can crystallize through 

interaction with some IV solutions or components and 

either occlude or affect the infusion route. To minimize 

the complications harmful precipitates can introduce, 

many drug manufacturers recommend the use of in-line 

filtration in their dosage and administration instructions. 

Pall’s portfolio of in-line filtration devices incorporate 

materials that offer broad drug compatibility as well as 

resistance to oils and lipids ensuring robust performance 

even in the presence of harsh substances. In addition to 

ensuring particulate removal, our hydrophilic membranes 

also provide excellent bacterial retention performance, 

reducing the risk of inadvertent contamination associated 

with the handling and administration of IV solutions. 

Pharmaceutical Compounding 

Pharmacists have a professional and legal responsibility 

for all aspects of the medication compounding and 

dispensing process. Each country, region or institution 

has established pharmacy practice guidelines. In addition, 

there are professional standards of practice that outline 

a series of recommendations for practitioners in alternate 

care sites. The section on Sterile Drug Products for 

Home Use in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 

chapter outlines some of the recommendations 

associated with home-use sterile drug preparations 

but was not established as a compendial requirement. 

USP , Pharmaceutical Compounding – Sterile 

Preparations, was published as a revision to and 

establishes a series of recommendations and practices 

(including a chapter on general tests and assays) with 

regulatory responsibilities for drug compounding sites. 

Sterile compounding techniques and other quality 

control measures are vitally important during drug 

product preparations. USP Chapter regulates 

compounding practice, requiring defined and documented 

quality systems in place. It is primarily concerned with 

patient safety and was established, among other things, 

to protect patients from microbiologically contaminated 

preparations. Pall’s portfolio of devices incorporates 

a variety of bacterial, viral, fungal and yeast retentive 

membranes to meet the standards set forth by the 

USP . 

In addition to the regulations established in the USP , 

pharmacists are also guided by standards established 

by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 

(ASHP). These standards outline the minimum requirements 

for the operation and management of pharmaceutical 

services provided by home care pharmacies. The 

standards affirm the pharmacist’s responsibility for the 

sterile preparation, quality and integrity of their formulations, 

thus underscoring the importance of incorporating a 

bacterial retentive device into the final delivery system. 

The FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA) of 1997 also 

includes provisions affecting pharmacy-compounding 

activities. These provisions are intended to ensure bulk 

pharmaceutical agents are processed through a sterilizinggrade 

membrane to ensure patient safety. 

For hospital pharmacy professionals around the world, 

improving patient outcomes begins with safe and 

effective preparation of pharmaceutical solutions. 

Reconstitution of cytotoxic drugs involves specific 

procedures to protect patients and healthcare workers 

during handling, dispensing and administration of drugs. 

Even when following standard preparation techniques, 

undissolved drug may be present in solutions from 

incomplete dissolution of lyophilized powder. Pall IV 

filtration products are designed for pharmaceutical 

drug administration and provide patient protection 

from potentially harmful particles. 

Selecting the Appropriate 

In-line Filter 

Particulate and Bacterial Retention 

When selecting an in-line filter for infusion therapy or 

drug/fluid delivery, it is important to properly characterize 

the size and nature of particulate contaminants to be 

retained or removed. A common risk during long-term 

IV therapy is contamination of IV solutions with bacteria 

or fungi. Pall filtration devices with 0.2 µm Supor ® 

membranes allow the passage of aqueous solutions while 

providing an effective barrier against microbial cells of 

similar or larger size. In parenteral nutrition applications, 

where the infused solution contains lipid globules that 

provide vital nutrients to the patient, the use of an in-line 

filter with a 1.2 µm Supor membrane is recommended 

to reduce the risk of yeast contamination while allowing 

unrestricted passage of suspended lipid micelles. 

6


In applications where the main objective is the removal 

of such unwanted particulate matter as drug aggregates 

and precipitates, in-line filtration devices with pore 

sizes between 0.2 µm and 17 µm are commonly used.

Flow Rates 

The pore size or rating in a filtration device not only 

dictates its retention characteristics but also its functional 

attributes, including flow rate and throughput. For instance, 

membrane devices with larger pore sizes will exhibit faster 

flow rates and increased throughput. It is important to 

note membranes made using different polymers and 

casting methods, but with the same pore size, can 

exhibit different flow rates and throughput performance.

Similarly, the degree of porosity of the membrane also 

has a strong influence on the membrane flow rate and 

throughput capabilities. Porosity is a measure of how 

many open spaces or pores are present in a membrane. 

Flow rate and throughput are directly proportional to the 

porosity of the membrane. Pall Supor membrane is 

72

highly porous and provides high flow rates and excellent 

filtration efficiency. Combining the correct membrane pore 

size into a filtration device offering the maximum in patient 

safety and comfort, while preserving the integrity and flow 

characteristics of the membrane, is the intention driving 

Pall’s unique family of devices. 

Drug Binding and Compatibility 

Critical to the selection of membranes in drug delivery 

applications is ensuring they have low non specific 

binding of the active ingredient. The use of low protein 

binding membranes is critical in the delivery and administration 

of today's biotherapeutic drugs. The low protein 

binding characteristics of Pall Supor membrane not only 

provide effective protection against particle and microbial 

contamination but also protect the integrity and consistency 

of the therapeutic dose. Supor is specially formulated for 

critical fluid applications where minimal protein absorption, 

superior bacterial retention and low pressure drop are 

required. 

Pall has undertaken extensive studies to evaluate Supor 

membrane adsorption characteristics with a variety of 

commonly infused and/or injected drugs. The following is 

a list of drugs Pall has studied, all of which are compatible 

with IV filter devices containing Supor membrane.

Extractables 

Membrane wetting characteristics can be modified by 

impregnating a surfactant onto the membrane structure, 

or chemically modifying the base polymer either before 

manufacturing or after the membrane is produced. 

Although wetting agents may offer advantages in filtration 

performance, one must consider the possibility of extractables. 

Extractables are substances that may leach or 

otherwise come off the membrane or filtration system 

and be added to the fluid being infused into a patient. 

Pall Supor ® membrane is inherently hydrophilic (uses no 

external surfactants) resulting in extremely low levels of 

extractables and significantly reduces the concern over 

contamination from a secondary source. 

Material Compatibility 

As new drugs continue to be developed, material interactions 

increase the opportunity for incompatibility. Many 

different factors can influence the compatibility and stability 

of drugs including preservatives, buffering systems, 

temperature and concentration. Chemical reactions, 

which may include oxidation, reduction, decomposition 

and complex formation, can also influence the efficacy of 

drug preparations. Physicochemical interactions including 

absorption, precipitation, and separation of emulsified 

systems can also result from material incompatibility. Pall 

has an extensive library of material compatibility data on 

our portfolio of hydrophilic membranes for infusion therapy. 

Lipid Compatibility 

Parenteral lipid emulsions are small droplets of oil 

encapsulated by a phospholipid layer suspended in the 

aqueous phase. Clinical concerns arise when free oil is 

liberated due to the emulsion “cracking” or when the 

droplets clump or enlarge in what is referred to as 

“creaming”. Lipid emulsions are thermodynamically 

unstable and demonstrate some degree of instability 

over time. It may take as long as three days for the 

instability of an emulsion to become visibly evident. 

There are two primary types of lipid-based infusion 

therapies where an in-line filtration device can reduce 

the occurrence of lipid aggregates reaching the patient. 

The first is Total Nutrient Admixtures (TNA), which 

combines lipid emulsions with amino acids, dextrose 

and micronutrients in a single bag. TNA treatment has 

become a standard of practice in homecare, hospitals 

and long-term care settings. The second type is Total 

Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). Physical incompatibilities in 

TPN solutions increase risks to patients. Calcium and 

phosphate precipitates are possible, along with other 

chemical incompatibilities when delivering TPN solutions. 

The presence of a lipid emulsion, as part of the admixture, 

would visibly obscure the precipitates. In homecare settings, 

filtration provides added safety during infusion of compounded 

IV admixtures. TPN and TNA solutions have 

been shown to promote fungal growth suggesting the use 

of a 1.2 µm filtration device to remove Candida species 

may limit the potential for TNA-related sepsis (see below). 

The presence of oil and lipids in the carrying solution can 

degrade the filtration membrane rendering it unfit for use 

in infusion therapy. Supor membrane with 1.2 µm pore 

size has been extensively used in nutritional therapy 

because of its proven compatibility with lipid-based solutions.

IV sets, incorporating filtration devices, provide extra 

value to patients and healthcare institutions and expand 

business opportunities for healthcare suppliers. The 

premium performance offered by a filter set can prevent 

many costly complications associated with healthcare 

procedures by preventing contamination. When examining 

the potential added cost and liability of not filtering, budgetconscious 

health systems recognize filter IV sets as a 

wise investment. 

Selection of a medical filtration device with the appropriate 

specifications is critical to your success. The selection

Patient, Healthcare Worker and Equipment Protection 

Patient, Healthcare Worker 

and Equipment Protection 

On a daily basis, patients worldwide receive 

treatments with the aid of modern medical 

equipment in hospitals, doctor offices, 

outpatient service centers, and emergency 

vehicles. Preventing the transmission of 

harmful contaminants between patients 

using the same equipment is not only a 

standard infection control practice, but 

also critical to patient safety. 

Connect with our collaborative spirit and 

together we will improve the quality of 

life for us all.

The need for new and constantly improving technology 

to help ensure patient and healthcare personnel safety, 

while at the same time reducing overall healthcare costs, 

is a constant in today’s health care settings. Air and 

gas filters capable of removing bacteria, viruses and 

other contaminants are used in a variety of healthcare 

applications including insufflation, blood oxygenation, 

oxygen concentration, nebulized medication delivery, 

smoke evacuation, and general suction/vacuum protection. 

In the case of surgical procedures, aerosols form during 

cauterization could transport contaminants from the 

patient into the ambient air. The American National 

Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care 

Facilities acknowledges gas plumes produced during 

laser surgery can contain scores of chemical by-products 

and carcinogens, such as phenols, alkyl pyrroles, benzene, 

cresols, ethylene oxide, methanethiol, styrene, toluene, 

and xylenes, among others. The utilization of a bacterial 

and viral retentive PTFE membrane in conjunction with 

hydrophobic glass fiber and a carbon filter in Pall’s 

patented smoke and odor removal system enables the 

passive elimination of smoke during minimally invasive 

surgery. This filtration media combination protects 

patients and surgical staff by minimizing the exposure 

to potentially harmful smoke particles. 

During laparoscopic procedures, CO2 gas is used 

to inflate the patient’s peritoneal cavity to allow for 

manipulation of instruments within the body. Insufflation 

equipment used in endoscopic surgeries may be exposed 

to contaminants in the air streams from the gas tanks 

or from a previous patient. The use of an insufflation 

gas filter helps prevent the contamination of equipment 

by miscellaneous debris that may be present in normal 

gas delivery. A filter also protects the insufflator should 

abdominal fluid or debris back up into the line. Pall 

hydrophobic glass fiber filters and PTFE membrane 

devices offer 99.999% bacterial removal efficiency and 

meet Ultra Low Penetration Air (ULPA) efficiency requirements. 

Devices with hydrophobic glass fiber meet or 

exceed High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) efficiency 

requirements. The robust bacterial removal efficiency of 

these filters helps prevent cross-contamination between 

patients and equipment.

filter media are regularly used to protect the compressor 

valves from carbon fines. Key to the optimal operation of 

oxygen concentrators is for the filter device to provide as 

low a pressure drop as possible so as not to restrict flow 

to the patient. 

Blood oxygenation is used to enrich blood with oxygen 

during cardiopulmonary by-pass surgery. The use of 

hydrophobic glass fiber and PTFE filter devices protect 

the oxygenated blood from contaminants that may be 

present in the oxygen. 

Ventilators and manual resuscitation equipment also pose 

opportunities for potential patient-to-patient transmission 

of infectious diseases. Medical equipment contaminated 

by exposure to respiratory secretions has been shown to 

increase the risk of transmission of infectious diseases 

such as tuberculosis, Hepatitis B and C, influenza, 

Legionnaires disease and in some cases HIV/AIDS (if 

blood is present). The use of Pall hydrophobic gas filters 

can provide effective removal of particles and other 

contaminants from oxygen and other medical gases.

Regulatory standards in the United States and Europe 

provide guidelines and procedures for evaluating the 

effectiveness of contamination control methods. The use 

of hydrophobic membranes to protect the equipment for 

patient treatments can provide the necessary safeguards 

against many types of blood and liquid-borne contamination. 

ISO standards, HEPA and ULPA classifications, together 

with bacterial and viral efficiency ratings, are used to classify 

the retention efficiency of filters. Pall’s portfolio of 

hydrophobic materials is rated in accordance with these 

critical classifications.

Equipment Protection 

Microporous hydrophobic membrane devices block 

liquids while allowing air to flow through the membrane. 

These devices are highly effective at keeping potentially 

infectious aerosols, particles and liquids from reaching 

medical equipment. Applying the unique properties of Pall’s 

hydrophobic membrane devices, design engineers have the 

flexibility to improve the performance of existing systems 

and enhance the designs of new medical products. Pall 

provides filters to assist you in meeting OSHA Bloodborne 

Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030, and bacterial 

filter requirements for Powered Suction Pump as suggested 

by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health Guidance 

Development. Moreover, incorporating hydrophobic membrane 

devices can reduce maintenance costs while 

improving safety benefits to patients. 

Portable suction pumps, or aspirators, are generally used 

to remove bodily fluids from a patient in non-surgical 

procedures, such as gastric evacuation or postoperative 

procedures like wound drainage. Devices with hydrophobic 

media are used to protect the suction equipment and 

ambient air from biological aerosol contamination. In 

these applications, it is important for the hydrophobic 

membrane to exhibit and maintain an adequate water 

breakthrough pressure. Leading manufacturers of collection 

or suction/vacuum devices, aspirators or compressors 

incorporate Pall’s disposable in-line filtration devices into 

their tubing sets as microbial and liquid barriers to protect 

their equipment from cross-contamination. 

To create a reliable microbial barrier on clinical equipment, 

hydrophobic membrane devices must be capable of 

maintaining their bacterial and viral retention characteristics, 

sometimes under such extreme conditions as high 

pressure and varying temperatures, without compromising 

airflow rates. Hydrophobic membrane devices used in 

these applications must also be compatible with different 

sterilization procedures without reducing performance. At 

Pall, we have the required sterilization compatibility data 

needed to support your device development program. 

Pall OEM medical filtration devices are evaluated under 

stringent test methods to ensure they meet high quality 

standards. Over the last few years, numerous regulations 

have emerged to protect both healthcare workers and 

patients from the potentially dangerous particles and substances 

that can be generated during standard operating 

room procedures. Minimizing the exposure to hazardous 

chemicals, microorganisms and non-viable particles can 

be achieved by integrating hydrophobic microporous 

materials into medical devices as a barrier between 

equipment and the patient. These devices can also 

protect the healthcare worker by reducing the spread 

of aerosolized particles. As a leading manufacturer of 

hydrophobic vent materials and devices, Pall can assist 

you in selecting the optimal filtration devices for your 

application. 

Selecting Membranes for Air 

and Gas Filtration Devices 

Removal of particulate matter from gas streams involves 

mechanisms beyond the normal interactions between 

particles and pore surfaces. Hydrophobic filter media are 

capable of retaining particles 10 times smaller than their 

rated pore size. This means that a hydrophobic filter 

medium with a 1 µm pore size rating may be able to 

retain particles as small as 0.1 µm in size. When filtering 

air and gases, one would select the largest pore size that 

provides effective retention of the specified particle size, 

including bacteria and viruses as needed, while achieving 

the highest flow rate at lowest pressure resistance possible.


Due to the large variety of filtration media available, 

understanding the factors that govern air and gas filter 

efficiencies will help you make the correct selection for 

your specific use. Criteria most frequently considered 

when selecting a material for air and gas filtration include 

water breakthrough pressure, differential pressure, air 

flow rate and particle/bacterial retention. Other important 

material characteristics include oleophobicity, chemical 

and temperature resistance, and compatibility with 

sterilization methods. 

Water Breakthrough (WBT) Pressure 

Water breakthrough pressure is the pressure at which 

water penetrates and passes through a hydrophobic 

porous material. This test is typically performed by placing 

water on one side of the membrane filter and gradually 

increasing the pressure until the water is forced through 

the filter. When selecting a hydrophobic membrane 

device for an application where the device needs to act 

as a water or liquid barrier, you must ensure the WBT 

pressure rating of the device is higher than the maximum 

system pressure the device will be exposed to. This will 

ensure the filter device is capable of preventing liquid 

from passing beyond the point where the filter is installed. 

It is important to recognize that hydrophobic membranes 

do allow water vapor to go through and that this vapor 

may condensate downstream of the filter. 

Differential Pressure 

Differential pressure (∆P) is the difference between the 

pressure measured at the filter inlet (upstream pressure), 

and the pressure measured at the filter outlet (downstream 

pressure). When selecting a filter device for air 

and gas filtration, it is imperative to consider the impact 

of device pressure drop characteristics in downstream 

flow rate requirements. 

Particle and Bacterial Retention 

One of the most common misconceptions about air 

filtration is that 0.2 µm particles can only be retained by 

a filter with a pore size no larger than 0.2 µm. This belief 

is not always correct. Due to the physics of how gases 

move through microporous materials, particles smaller 

than the pore size can be retained, usually at a particle to 

pore size ratio of 10 - 1. This can be seen with a 1.2 µm 

pore size membrane that has 99.98% efficiency when 

challenged with a 0.3 µm DOP aerosolized particle. When 

considering bacterial retention capabilities of hydrophobic 

membranes, it is important to note that pore sizes larger 

than 0.2 µm can be used to reduce the bacterial load in 

air and gas filtration applications. 

To measure retention efficiency of a hydrophobic 

membrane device, the device is typically exposed to 

aerosolized particles of a standard size. The DOP test 

has traditionally been used as the industry standard to 

measure retention efficiency of air and gas filters. By 

definition, it measures the ability of a filter to retain 0.3 µm 

DOP aerosol particles at a predetermined flow. It is usually 

expressed as a percentage of retention. A filter with a 

DOP retention efficiency of at least 99.97% is classified 

as meeting the HEPA filter requirements. In recent years, 

EN 1822 was introduced in Europe for testing HEPA and 

ULPA filters. The main difference between EN 1822 and 

DOP testing methods is the use of most penetrating 

particle (MPP) as the testing particle size.

application. For additional information or questions about 

your application needs, contact our experienced OEM 

customer service representatives. We’d like to help you 

achieve the best solution for your application. 

Air Flow Rate 

What are the requirements for flow rate that your application 

demands Is it a passive venting application where 

the movement of air through the membrane is minimal 

or does it require large volumes of air to pass in a short 

amount of time Air flow rates of hydrophobic membrane 

devices are driven by factors such as pore size, porosity 

and differential pressure as well as the device effective 

filtration area (EFA) and housing design.

Principles of Filtration 

Reference Materials • Principles of Filtration 

Filtration is a science of growing information, distinctive 

terminology, and proprietary knowledge. These basic 

concepts have been compiled so that we, at Pall Life 

Sciences, can establish a common ground with you, 

our customer, on the basic language of filtration. We 

will explain some of the fundamental aspects of filtration 

technology and how they relate to each other. If you have 

questions about any of these concepts or how they apply 

to your specific applications, contact our Technical 

Service Department at 800.521.1520 (USA and Canada) 

and (+)800.PALL.LIFE (outside USA and Canada). 

Filtration is a process by which particles are removed 

from liquid, air, and gas samples by passing through a 

permeable material. There are various types of filtration 

including conventional dead-end filtration, depth filtration, 

tangential flow filtration, and ultrafiltration, just to name a 

few. The below chart provides an overview of the types of 

filtration media used to separate common materials.

Depth vs. Membrane Filtration 

A Depth Filter is a filter consisting of either multiple 

layers or a single layer of media having depth, which 

captures contaminants within its structure, as opposed 

to on the surface. (Example: Glass Fiber and Melt 

Blown media) 

Advantages 

Lower cost 

High throughputs 

High dirt-holding capacity 

(high particulate loading) 

Protects final filters (prefilter) 

Removes variety of particle sizes 

Potential Disadvantages 

Media migration (shedding) 

Nominal pore size rating 

Particulate unloading at increased differential pressure 

A Membrane Filter typically 

traps contaminants larger than 

the pore size on the addressed 

surface of the membrane. 

Contaminants smaller than the 

rated pore size may pass through the membrane 

or may be captured within the membrane by other 

mechanisms. Membrane filters are typically used for 

critical applications such as sterilizing and final filtration. 

(Example: Polyethersulfone and Nylon membranes) 

Advantages 

Absolute sub-micron pore size ratings possible 

Can be bacteria and particle retentive 

(pore size dependent) 

Generally lower extractables 

Generally integrity testable 

Potential Disadvantages 

Lower flow rates than depth media 

More costly than depth media 

46


Hydrophilic vs. Hydrophobic 

Hydrophilic filter media are easily wet with water, or 

virtually any liquid, and are the preferred materials for 

aqueous solutions, as appropriate by compatibility. Note 

that in the filtration industry, “hydrophilic” is used somewhat 

differently than in some other fields where it refers 

to a material to which water clings. 

Once wetted, hydrophilic filters do not allow the free 

passage of gases until the applied pressure exceeds the 

bubble point and the liquid is expelled from the pores of 

the membrane. (See page 49 for additional information 

on Bubble Point) 

Wetted membrane 

prior to bubble point. 

Hydrophobic filter media will not wet in water but will wet 

in low surface tension liquids, (e.g., organic solvents such 

as alcohols). Once a hydrophobic membrane has been 

wetted, aqueous solutions will also pass through. 

Hydrophobic materials are best 

suited for gas filtration and the 

filtration of low surface tension 

solvents. Hydrophobic filtration 

Gas H 2 O Gas H 2 O 

Gas 

Gas 

materials can be used for venting 

and moisture barrier applications depending on operating 

pressures and fluid type. 

In certain applications, hydrophobic filter media are 

used to filter aqueous solutions because of compatibility 

requirements. Water or aqueous solutions can also pass 

through a hydrophobic membrane once the water 

breakthrough pressure is reached. (See page 49 for 

additional information on Water Breakthrough) 

Pore Size Ratings 

H 2 O Gas H 2 O Gas 

The pore size of the filter medium is determined by the 

diameter of the particle that it can be expected to retain 

with a defined, high degree of efficiency. Pore size ratings 

are usually stated in micrometers (µm). Ratings can be 

stated as either nominal or absolute. 

Nominal ratings are arbitrary values, indicating a 

particulate size range at which the filter manufacturer 

claims the filter removes some percentage of particulate 

load. Nominal ratings vary from manufacturer to manufacturer 

and cannot be used to compare media among 

H 2 O 

H 2 O 

manufacturers. Processing conditions such as 

operating pressure and concentration of contaminant 

have a significant effect on the retention efficiency of 

the nominally-rated filters. 

Absolute ratings are usually 

expressed as the smallest 

particle size a filter medium is 

capable of retaining with 100% 

efficiency. Absolute retention ratings are established 

following industry standards and testing methods that 

are relevant to the filter’s intended use. Among the test 

conditions that must be specified are test organism (or 

particle size), challenge pressure, concentration, and 

detection method used to identify the contaminant. 

Below are typical challenge organisms for specific 

membrane pore sizes: 

Absolute-rated Filter Media 

(Pore Size) 

Challenge Organism 

0.1 µm Acholeplasma laidlawii 

0.2 µm Brevundimonas diminuta 

0.45 µm Serratia marcescens 

0.8 µm Lactobacillus species 

1 µm Candida albicans 

Chemical Compatibility 

Chemical Compatibility is defined as the ability of a 

filter to resist chemicals so that the filter’s function is 

not adversely affected, the filter material does not shed 

particles or fibers, or add extractables to the fluid being 

filtered. It is important to remember that compatibility 

is specific for a particular chemical or combination of 

chemicals, at a particular temperature and exposure 

time. To select the proper filter, you must determine 

the compatibility of all filter components with the fluid. 

Temperature, concentration, applied pressure, and length 

of exposure time affect compatibility. The materials used 

in the manufacture of Pall OEM healthcare devices are 

carefully chosen for their resistance to a wide range of 

chemical solutions. Still, understanding the compatibility 

between the fluid to be filtered and the filter elements 

under actual conditions of use is essential. (See pages 

50-51 for the chemical compatibility of our filters with 

common fluids.) 

47 



Principles of Filtration (continued) 

Flow Rate and Throughput 

Flow rate and throughput are two important related 

measures of filter performance described in this section. 

They are affected by many different operational variables. 

The variables listed below are those that most dramatically 

influence the filter performance. 

Water Flow Rate is a measure of the amount of water 

that flows through a filter. It is related to the degree of 

contamination of the sample, differential pressure, total 

porosity, and the effective filtration area (EFA) of the 

filtration material expressed in milliliters/minute/square 

centimeter (mL/min/cm 2 ) at a given pressure. 

Air Flow Rate is a measure of the amount of air 

that flows through a filter. It is related to the degree 

of contamination of the sample, differential pressure, 

total porosity, and the EFA of the filtration material. 

Commonly expressed in liters/minute/ square 

centimeter (L/min/cm 2 ) at a given pressure. 

Throughput is the amount of fluid able to pass through 

a filter prior to the filter plugging. (See Filter Life, page 49) 

Differential Pressure (∆P) is the difference between 

the pressure in the system before the fluid reaches the 

filter (upstream pressure) and the system pressure after 

the fluid flows through the filter (downstream pressure). 

In a constant flow application, the differential pressure 

increases as the membrane begins to clog. 

Viscosity is the measurement of a fluid’s resistance to 

flow. For instance, a slow-flowing liquid like honey has 

a higher viscosity than a “thin” liquid like water. The 

higher the viscosity (at a constant temperature and 

pressure), the lower the flow rate through a membrane 

(assuming that the fluid is Newtonian, that is, that the 

viscosity does not change as the conditions change). 

Porosity (also called “open area” or “void volume”) is a 

measurement of all of the open spaces (pores) in the 

filter medium. Generally, membranes have 50-90% 

open space. Flow rate is directly proportional to the 

porosity of the filter medium (more pores = higher flow 

rate, for a given pore size and thickness of filter media). 

Effective Filtration Area (EFA) is the area of the filter 

medium that is available for filtration. For any given 

membrane, the larger the EFA, the higher the flow rate 

at a given initial differential pressure. Filters are available 

in a wide range of sizes with different EFAs. 

Extractables 

Extractables are substances that may leach or otherwise 

come off the filter and may be added to the fluid being filtered. 

These contaminants may include wetting agents in 

the filter medium, manufacturing debris, chemical residue 

from sterilizing the filter, adhesives, or components of the 

filter materials of construction when sealed in a device. 

The type and amount of extractables will vary with the 

type of sample being filtered. 

Binding 

Binding is the tendency of certain substances to “stick” 

to the filter media (or other filter components) and be 

removed from the filtered fluid. Binding can be a desirable 

characteristic, as in the case where certain components 

of the filtered fluid must be removed or its concentration 

reduced. Binding can also be an undesirable characteristic, 

as in the case of protein binding during filtration, which 

can lead to a loss of valuable products. Pall’s Supor ® 

hydrophilic PES membrane has been characterized as 

low protein binding for critical applications. 

Thermal Stability 

Thermal Stability is the ability of the filter to maintain 

integrity and functionality at elevated temperatures. Thermal 

stability is important when considering material sterilization, 

such as autoclaving. Certain filtration materials cannot be 

autoclaved because of insufficient thermal stability. Keep in 

mind that there is a relationship between chemical compatibility 

and thermal stability. Many types of filter media may be 

compatible with a chemical at room temperature, but not 

at high temperature. Thermal stability can be characterized 

by determining the maximum operating temperature under 

specified conditions. 

48


Measuring the Performance 

of Filtration Media 

To help determine whether a filter will be suitable for your 

application, manufacturers use various tests to rate the 

performance of the filter under certain conditions. 

Biological Safety Test is a general term used to categorize 

tests performed to determine whether the filter is capable 

of inducing measurable degrees of systemic toxicity, 

localized skin irritation, sensitization reaction, or other 

biological responses. Either in vivo or in vitro test 

methods may be employed. Tests like the “United States 

Pharmacopeia (USP) Biological Reactivity Test, In Vivo 

” and the ISO 10993 series of standards ensure that 

the filters can be used for a specific application without 

causing an adverse reaction. 

Pyrogenicity is the tendency of a substance to raise 

body temperature when injected into the body. Filtration 

materials that come in contact with injectable liquids 

must meet pyrogenicity standards and be classified 

as non-pyrogenic. Pyrogenicity can be determined 

by such standard tests as the Limulus Amoebocyte 

Lysate (LAL) test. 

Bubble Point is a measure of 

the air pressure required to force 

liquid from the largest pore of a 

wetted membrane. It serves 

Filter 

as an indirect measure of filter 

pore size and rates the membrane’s 

ability to serve as a 

particle barrier. The bubble point 

is dependent on the liquid used to wet the membrane. 

For a given pore size, the bubble point will be higher in a 

liquid with a higher surface tension (such as water) than 

in a liquid with a lower surface tension (such as isopropyl 

alcohol). The bubble point rating is determined when the 

largest pore yields a bubble; the larger the pore, the less 

pressure required to form the bubble. Bubble point is 

expressed in units of pounds per square inch (psi) or bars 

for membranes (ASTM:F316-03, Standard Test Methods 

for Pore Size Characteristics). 

Water Breakthrough is a 

measure of the amount of 

pressure required to transmit 

water through the largest pore 

of a dry, hydrophobic filter. It 

serves as an indication of the 

filter’s ability to serve as an 

aqueous barrier. The larger the pore size, the less 

Hydrophobic 

Filter 

pressure is required to push water through the pore. 

Expressed in the filtration industry in units of pounds 

per square inch (psi) or bars. 

DOP Test is a measure of the efficiency of a filter for the 

removal of particulate from air, based on the retention of 

0.3 µm Dispersed Oil Particle (DOP) aerosol droplets, 

usually expressed as a percentage. A High Efficiency 

Particulate Air (HEPA) filter must retain at least 99.97% 

of 0.3 µm DOP droplets (ASTM:D2986-95A). The 0.3 µm 

size was chosen because particles of this size are the 

most difficult to retain in many air filters. 

Filter Efficiency measures the percentage of particles 

which are removed from the fluid by the membrane. 

In the filtration of liquids, filter efficiency is given on 

the basis of particles at or above a certain diameter 

in size. In gas filtration, efficiency is stated as including 

all particles, including those at the most penetrating 

particle size. (see DOP Test above). Some membrane 

manufacturers will report efficiency in terms of the 

percentage removal of the particles by weight, which 

does not reveal the number of particles that may pass 

through the membrane. This is a type of nominal filter 

rating. For high-efficiency filters, this is often replaced 

by a beta rating. Efficiency can be calculated from a beta 

value as follows: 

β - 1 

% Efficiency (η) = x 100 

β 

Membrane rated as 1 µm or finer are often rated 

using titer reduction values or log reduction values. 

Filter Life is a measure of how long a membrane will last 

before requiring replacement or cleaning. It can be stated 

either in terms of time (e.g., 30 days between changes) 

or volume of fluid filtered (e.g.,10,000 liters processed 

between filter changes). A filter material’s actual life will 

depend on what particulates and conditions it is exposed 

to in actual usage, so filter life ratings from lab testing 

with standard contaminants can be used for comparison, 

but do not necessarily predict actual service life. To 

predict actual life, testing with the actual application 

fluids under actual operating conditions is required. 

Typically, the useful life of a membrane can be determined 

by a two-to-four fold increase of differential pressure in a 

constant flow system or a drop in pressure of 50-80% in 

a constant pressure system.

Chemical Compatibility 

Test Methods 

This data is a compilation of testing by Pall Corporation 

with certain chemicals, manufacturer’s data or compatibility 

recommendations from Pruett, J.M. (1983), 

Compass Corrosion Guide, La Mesa, Calif.: Compass 

Publications. This data is intended to provide expected 

results when filtration devices are exposed to chemicals 

under static conditions for 48 hours at 25°C (77° F), 

unless otherwise noted. If membrane and device integrity 

were unchanged, the chemical was deemed compatible. 

Device integrity was tested by bubble point. This chart is 

intended only as a guide. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed. 

Users should verify chemical compatibility with a 

specific filtration device under actual use conditions 

because chemical compatibility is affected by many 

variables including temperature, pressure, concentration, 

and purity. Various chemical combinations prevent 

complete accuracy. 

Chemical Compatibility Chart Key 

R = Resistant 

No significant change was observed in flow rate or 

bubble point of the membrane, nor visible indication 

of chemical attack. 

L = Limited Resistance 

Moderate changes in physical properties or dimensions 

of the membrane were observed. The filter may be 

suitable for short term, non-critical use. 

N = Not Resistant 

The membrane is basically unstable and is not 

recommended for use. 

- Insufficient Data 

Information is not available. Trial testing is recommended.

Caution 

Alcohol residues that are allowed to dry on a filter may 

cause stress cracks. Pall Corporation recommends that 

filters used in alcohol processing should remain alcohol 

wet, or should be flushed with copious quantities of water 

to remove residuals prior to drying and subsequent reuse.
