Sterilizing Grade Filters: LifeASSURE

LifeASSURE 020SP Series sterilizing grade filters are designed for use with LifeASSURETM PLA series prefilters. Both filters feature Nylon 6,6 filter membrane. 3M Purification Inc.’s unique multi-zone micropourous membrane technology, used in LifeASSURE PLA series prefilters, provides superior life extension of LifeASSURE 020SP series final filters. Used together, LifeASSURE PLA series prefilters and LifeASSURE 020SP series final filters provide high system flow rates and safe, reliable microorganism retention.

For most applications, LifeASSURETM PLA045 series is the best first choice for prefiltration prior to LifeASSURE 020SP series sterilizing grade final filters. For applications where the particulate or colloidal level is extremely low and maximum final filter life is desired, choose LifeASSURETM PLA020 prefilters.
