Proven polyethersulfone (PES) filtration membrane

Polyethersulfone (PES) filtration membranes stand as the gold standard for applications within the food, beverage, and life sciences sectors. Their inherent chemical stability, combined with exceptional filtration capabilities, ensures optimal purity and safety in these critical industries. As a result, PES membranes are trusted for their efficiency and reliability in maintaining product integrity and quality.

Low extractables

Low extractables in filtration membranes are crucial for ensuring the purity and integrity of the filtered substance. Furthermore, with minimal drug and protein binding, the membranes guarantee maximum sample recovery without compromising the sample's composition. These properties not only assure clean results but also boost efficiency in analysis and production processes. Thus, users benefit from both high-quality outputs and optimal yield.

Reinforced

Thanks to the reinforcement, Novamem's membranes boast a superior burst strength. This robustness ensures that the membranes remain intact and functional even in high-stress scenarios. Furthermore, their resilience is perfectly suited for automated equipment, mitigating risks of damage during operations. This combination of strength and durability ensures a longer membrane lifespan and consistent performance.

Rewettable and autoclavable

Our membranes exhibit an inherently hydrophilic nature, ensuring excellent water affinity and consistent performance. Their rewettable design ensures durability and functional longevity, even after drying cycles. With the added advantage of being autoclavable, they guarantee sterility and reliability for rigorous applications. Furthermore, their broad sealing compatibility enhances their versatility across a myriad of equipment and sealing methodologies.

High flow rates at sharp cut-off

Novamem's membranes are designed for a high flow rate, ensuring efficient fluid dynamics and swift separations. Their precision-engineered structure boasts a 0.45-micron pore size cut-off, balancing flow with optimal filtration performance. With a streamlined thickness ranging between 65-85 microns, these membranes offer a slim profile without compromising functionality. This combination promises both efficacy and space efficiency in filtration applications.

Food contact and FDA compliability

Novamem's membranes are meticulously crafted to adhere to the stringent standards set by the European Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and EC No. 10/2011, ensuring their safety for food contact applications. Beyond European standards, they also satisfy the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as detailed under the Code of Federal Regulations, specifically CFR 21 Part 177 to 182. This dual compliance underscores their global acceptability and reliability in food-related applications. Users can trust in the membranes' integrity and quality, guaranteeing safe and uncontaminated food products.

GMP compliable

Novamem's membranes are rigorously produced in line with the European Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006, which stipulates standards for good manufacturing practice (GMP). This compliance ensures that the membranes meet the highest benchmarks of quality and safety set by the Commission. Adhering to these GMP guidelines reflects Novamem's unwavering commitment to excellence and its emphasis on producing reliable products. Clients can confidently integrate these membranes, knowing they align with robust European manufacturing standards.

REACH conform

Novamem's membranes proudly adhere to the stringent criteria of the REACH Regulation, specifically Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. As of 17.03.2022, our products contain no substance(s) of very high concern (SVHC) above the 0.1% threshold, as detailed in Article 33 of the said regulation. This ensures the utmost safety and environmental responsibility of our membranes. Users and stakeholders can thus trust in the ecological integrity and health compliance of our products.
