* US Patent 5,055,192 Zeta Plus LP Series* Filters are a depth filter composed of inorganic filter aid and cellulose, extremely low in extractables, and designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry. The LP Filter Media is constructed with highly purified cellulose to minimize β-glucan extractables and false positive LAL test results. The positive charge exhibited by Zeta Plus LP Filter Media results in increased particle removal efficiency. The high contaminant capacity of the filter medium prolongs final filter life when Zeta Plus LP Filter Media is used as a prefilter. Exacting quality controls assure maximum product performance for each production lot. Zeta Plus LP Filter Media is manufactured to procedures described in CUNO's Drug Master file on record with the FDA. Zeta Plus LP Filter Cartridges are manufactured in accordance with a strict quality assurance program. Each media lot is tested for flow, density, charge capacity, organic and inorganic extractables, and pyrogenicity (LAL Clot Tests). In addition, Zeta Plus LP Filter cartridge packaging is labeled with lot identification number to provide complete traceability from the media batch to the finished product. Applications Blood Products Antibiotics Diagnostics Intravenous Solutions Growth Media Pharmaceutical and Bioprocess fluids CHARACTERISTICS Superior Particle Removal Zeta Plus Filter Media offers unique advantages in contaminant removal because of its strong electro- kinetic properties. In addition to the mechanical exclusion of particles by its depth loading feature, Zeta Plus Filter Media adsorbs contaminants too small for removal by mechanical straining. Since most particles in suspension have been shown to be negatively charged, virtually all contaminants can be removed with proper grade selection. ® ZETA PLUS LP Series Depth Filter Cartridges and Capsules ® a 3M company Features Benefits n Low LAL Reactivity n LP Filter Medium is non-pyrogenic, and is less likely to cause false positive results. n Depth filtration media designed to retain contaminants by mechanical entrapment and electrokinetic adsorbtion. n High contaminant holding capacity for economical filtration and reliable particle removal. n Full range of scaleable capsule and cartridge filter configurations. n Allows pilot testing and scale-up with the same materials that will be used in full-scale systems. n FDA Drug Master File and USP Class VI Biological Safety. n Eases validation and regulatory submissions by providing vital documentation and traceability. n Self-contained, single-use disposable capsule and cartridge modules. n Reduced labor time for changeouts and elimination of cleaning validation.

Grade SelectionThe Zeta Plus LP Se ries Fil ter Me dia is avail able in four grades. Me chan i cal strain ing alone is in di cated bygrade in Chart 1.

Chart 1 is in tended for use as a guide to nom i nal mi cron rat ing. Par ti cles smaller than the rated pore size will bere moved by Zeta Plus Fil ter Me dia due to electrokineticad sorp tion. Ac tual op er at ing con di tions and the prod uct to be fil tered should be con sid ered in grade se lec tion.Tech ni cal sup port in op ti mal grade se lec tion is pro vided by your lo cal dis trib u tor or CUNO In cor po rated. Theop ti mal fil tra tion sys tem for your par tic u lar ap pli ca tioncan be de ter mined by on-site test equip ment or sam pleeval u a tion in our Ap pli ca tions Lab o ra tory.

Flow RatesGraph 1 de picts the flow rate for clean wa ter. Al thoughthe flow rates de crease when flu ids higher than 16 cpsare fil tered, an ef fi cient flow rate can be achieved withproper me dia type se lec tion. (A max i mum flow rate of 1 GPM/ft2 is rec om mended to en sure op ti mal fil ter life and ef fi ciency.)

PyrogenicityThe LP Fil ter Me dia is tested for pyrogenicity us ing theLAL Clot method. All grades con tained < 0.25 EU/ml,in di cat ing that the Zeta Plus LP filter medium isnon-pyrogenic and is less likely to cause false pos i tivere sults.

ExtractablesZeta Plus Fil ter Me dium is de signed to be ex tremely low in extractables. A CUNO Reg u la tory Sup port File,avail able on re quest, pro vides the typ i cal in or ganicex trac tions from the LP Fil ter Me dium. For morein for ma tion con tact your lo cal CUNO representitive.

CARTRIDGE CONSTRUCTIONZeta Plus LP Fil ter Me dia is avail able in both flat stock(sheets) and car tridges. Car tridges are con structedfrom in di vid ual cells. Each cell is con structed with amolded poly propy lene edge seal and in ter nal sep a ra tor. The cells are as sem bled into a car tridge un der apre de ter mined com pres sion and made into a sin gle unit by three 316 stain less steel bands with poly propy lenecell separators.
