Answer:It acts as a hydrophobic barrier that helps prevent water or filtrate from entering a vacuum pump or vacuum line.
Answer:The filter uses reinforced hydrophobic PTFE with a pore size of 0.45 µm.
Answer:No. The unit is nonsterile and is supplied in a pack of three.
Sartorius Vacusart® is a ready-to-connect in-line air filter and liquid barrier for vacuum systems. Its reinforced hydrophobic PTFE membrane has a 0.45 µm pore rating and a 20 cm² membrane area within a polypropylene housing. Installed between a filtration receiver and a pump, the unit helps prevent liquid carryover and protects the vacuum source while allowing gas passage. The 64 mm housing has stepped hose-barb connections suitable for 6–12 mm tubing and is supplied in a nonsterile three-piece pack. The membrane resists water penetration, making the unit suitable for wet vacuum filtration arrangements and vacuum-line venting. Maximum operating pressure is 3 bar in the forward direction; autoclaving is permitted up to 134 °C within the validated process. It is a gas/vacuum-line protection component, not a liquid sample membrane filter.
