•• *CA and GF membranes in MBS housing for 28 mm size Contact time:24 hours at 20 °C Chemical compatibilities can be influenced by various factors. Therefore, we recommend that you confirm compatibility with the liquid you want to filter by performing a trial filtration run before you start your actual filtration.
