PolyCap AS 36 Capsule Filter, 5/Pk SKU: 2606T

Nylon Capsule Filters - 2606T

From reagent preparation to environmental sample processing, nylon capsule filters provide the versatility required for multi-solvent filtration workflows at bench and pilot scale. Constructed for reliable operation, nylon membrane construction in the pleated capsule format delivers the effective filtration area needed for large-volume reagent preparation while maintaining the chemical versatility that defines this material. The outcome is simplified regulatory documentation and reduced contamination risk, with each single-use capsule providing a validated, traceable filtration event.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

• The broad solvent compatibility of nylon membranes extends across aqueous, alcoholic, and many organic systems, providing a versatile capsule platform for laboratories processing diverse reagent types.
• Nylon capsule filters resist common laboratory solvents including alcohols, esters, and bases, while maintaining stable performance above pH 3 across typical processing conditions.
• Nylon membrane capsules deliver consistent retention performance across the pore size range from 0.2 to 0.45 micrometers, covering both sterilizing-grade and general clarification applications.
• Nylon capsule filters provide a cost-effective filtration option for high-volume reagent preparation, buffer filtration, and general laboratory applications where ultra-low binding is not the primary requirement.
• The mechanical strength of nylon membrane construction supports the operating pressures encountered in capsule filtration systems without the deformation risks associated with thinner membrane materials.

Key Capsule Construction Features

• Polypropylene capsule housing provides broad chemical compatibility from pH 1 to 14, resisting the acids, bases, and process chemicals that degrade alternative housing materials.
• Polypropylene capsule housing supports autoclave sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius and withstands gamma irradiation exposure, accommodating both user-sterilized and factory-sterilized device configurations.
• Threaded NPT connections offer a robust interface for applications where vibration, pressure cycling, or system movement could loosen push-fit barb connections.
• Polypropylene housing materials provide documented biocompatibility and low extractable profiles, supporting integration into pharmaceutical and food-processing filtration applications.

As batch volumes and regulatory expectations continue to grow, your capsule filter selection becomes a process design decision that affects sterility assurance, product recovery, and operational cost per liter filtered. To support this, when your filtration needs span aqueous solutions, alcohols, and organic mixtures, nylon membrane construction eliminates the pre-wetting steps and material compatibility checks that slow your workflow. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
