Nylon Capsule Filter, 0.45um, 72mm x 100mm, 3/8 in. Hose Barb, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14914

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14914

Nylon capsule filters combine the broad chemical tolerance needed for diverse laboratory applications with the ready-to-use convenience of a self-contained, disposable filtration device. Built for consistent results, naturally hydrophilic nylon membrane within the capsule housing wets immediately on contact with aqueous solutions, eliminating pre-conditioning steps and enabling rapid filtration startup for time-sensitive applications. Ultimately, the result is a filtration process that eliminates cleaning validation, reduces changeover time, and provides batch-to-batch consistency through factory-tested, integrity-verified devices.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

• The 25 milliliter holdup volume reflects the capsule's internal fluid path geometry, relevant to recovery calculations for precious samples and small-batch pharmaceutical formulations.
• 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.
• Nylon capsule filters resist common laboratory solvents including alcohols, esters, and bases, while maintaining stable performance above pH 3 across typical processing conditions.
• 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.
• Maximum operating temperature of 80 degrees Celsius supports filtration of warm solutions and accommodates the thermal conditions present in process environments.

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.
• Single-use polypropylene capsule construction eliminates cleaning validation requirements, reducing the regulatory burden and turnaround time associated with reusable stainless steel filter housings.
• 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.

When your filtration protocol calls for a validated, integrity-testable barrier that arrives ready to connect and begins filtering immediately, the capsule format delivers that capability without the overhead of traditional filter assemblies. For applications like these, for facilities processing buffers, reagents, and mixed solvent systems, nylon capsule filters provide the chemical versatility your multi-application laboratory environment demands. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.

Sterilization Guidance

Non-sterile delivery accommodates applications where sterility is not required, while the all-polypropylene construction provides the option for autoclave sterilization when aseptic processing is specified.
