Autoclaving the 0.2 µm final filter

NOTE!

The lifetime of the 0.2 µm final filter can be prolonged by sterilizing it. Proceed as follows to

autoclave the sterile filter.

Step Action Figure

1 Rotate the used 0.2 µm final filter in a

clockwise direction to remove it.

2 Use an autoclave to sterilize the 0.2 µm final

filter in a steam autoclave at 121C° for 30

minutes. You can repeat the sterilization

process for the sterile filter up to 5 times.

When sterilization is completed, screw the 0.2

µm final filter back into the 1/4“ thread on the

sampling tap (see “Replacing the 0.2 µm final

filter” on page 61).

NOTE!

If you wish to remove purified water and the flow rate

is too low, this is an indication that the sterile filter is

clogged. In this case, read the description in Chapter

15 “Trouble shooting” on page 77, or replace the 0.2

µm final filter with a new one.
