DLHPVDF/LHPVDF Sterilizing-Grade Liquid Filter
Cobetter DLHPVDF series cartridges are made of double-layer hydrophilic PVDF membranes; PVDF has very low protein adsorption properties, making it especially suitable for culture fluid, biological reagents, sterile vaccine filtration. At the same time, DLHPVDF has low leachables, wide chemical compatibility, and very excellent temperature resistance.
