MFE
validation
by Osmonics is based upon the FDA Guidelines that we
“establish documented evidence of assurance that a specif-
ic process will consistently produce a product meeting its
predetermined specification and quality attributes” (FDA
1987). MFE-S is designed for final sterile filtration of phar-
maceutical products.
MFE-S is designed for vent and process fluid filtration in val-
idated systems where critical fluids need absolute, aseptic
and sterile hydrophobic or chemically resistant protection.
A detailed Validation Guide is available from Osmonics to
document our rigorous testing for your records and
reviews.
The MFE-S filter is just one example of our strong
commitment to the pharmaceutical industry.
Our
complete portfolio includes filters for every stage of pro-
cessing, and we offer custom solutions for your unique
applications. Osmonics is your complete source for filters,
housings and other filtration equipment.

Note: For pressures and temperatures other than 14.7 psia (0 psig) and 70ºF, ACFM can be approximated with the following formula:
ACFM = Actual Cubic Feet per Min.
ACFM = SCFM at 70º F and 14.7 pisa
