Sterilization Method
3 autoclave cycles of 60 min @ 126 °C; capable of 45 kilogray (4.5 Megarad) gamma exposure; not in-line steam sterilizable
This product was manufactured with a Durapore® membrane which meets the criteria for a "non-fiber releasing" filter as defined in 21 CFR 210.3 (b) (6).

Analysis Note

Bacterial Retention
Samples were quantitatively retentive of a minimum Brevundimonas diminuta challenge concentration of 1 x 10⁷ CFU/cm² using ASTM® F838 methodology.
TOC/Conductivity
After sterilization and a controlled water flush, samples exhibited less than 500 ppb TOC per USP <64> and less than 1.3 µS/cm per USP <64> at 25 ºC.
Will meet the USP Oxidizable Substances Test requirements after a water flush of ≥500 mL
