Syring Filt rs Compatibility Chart
R = Recommended. No significant change observed in flow rate
or bubble point of the membrane, nor visible indication of
chemical attack.
L = Limited Recommended Use. Moderate changes in physical
properties. The filter may be suitable for short term, non-critical use.
N = Not Recommended. The membrane may be unstable.
- = Insufficient Data. Information is not available. Trial testing is
recommended.
