Nylon Capsule Filter, 0.22um, 72mm x 95mm, 1/4- 3/8 in. Stepped Hose Barb, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14910

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14910

Nylon capsule filters serve as reliable general-purpose devices wherever aqueous and organic compatibility must coexist without pre-wetting or membrane activation steps. 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. In combination, the outcome is higher operational throughput with lower contamination risk, as disposable capsule devices remove the reprocessing steps that introduce variability into reusable filter systems.

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.
• Rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius, the capsule maintains structural integrity and retention performance across the normal process temperature range.
• Nylon membrane capsules offer natural hydrophilicity across their full pore structure, ensuring complete wetting with aqueous solutions without the pre-treatment steps required by hydrophobic alternatives.
• The non-sterile capsule format offers a cost-effective option for applications where particle removal rather than sterility assurance is the primary filtration objective.
• Maximum operating pressure of 75.4 psi provides the differential pressure capacity needed for sustained filtration of viscous solutions and high-flow process streams.

Key Capsule Construction Features

• The sealed polypropylene housing is individually integrity-tested during manufacturing, verifying membrane installation and housing seal quality before the device leaves the production facility.
• 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 housing materials provide documented biocompatibility and low extractable profiles, supporting integration into pharmaceutical and food-processing filtration applications.
• Thermally fused polypropylene construction eliminates adhesives, binders, and O-rings from the fluid path, reducing extractable contamination and simplifying material qualification.

From method development through scale-up to production, your capsule filter choice defines the balance between membrane performance, process integration, and the regulatory documentation trail that supports each filtration event. For facilities processing buffers, reagents, and mixed solvent systems, nylon capsule filters provide the chemical versatility your multi-application laboratory environment demands. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
