Nylon Capsule Filter, 0.10um, 72mm x 95mm, 1/4 - 3/8 in. Stepped Hose Barb, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14929

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14929

The naturally hydrophilic structure of nylon capsule filters eliminates pre-wetting requirements, enabling immediate use with aqueous solutions while maintaining compatibility with most organic solvents. 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. In effect, 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

• Internal holdup volume of 25 milliliters minimizes sample loss during capsule filtration, a critical consideration when processing expensive biologics or limited-volume preparations.
• 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.
• 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.
• The non-sterile format provides the same membrane retention and flow performance as sterile variants, with the flexibility for user-controlled sterilization when process requirements dictate.
• 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.

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 housing materials provide documented biocompatibility and low extractable profiles, supporting integration into pharmaceutical and food-processing filtration applications.
• Polypropylene capsule housing supports autoclave sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius and withstands gamma irradiation exposure, accommodating both user-sterilized and factory-sterilized device configurations.
• Single-use polypropylene capsule construction eliminates cleaning validation requirements, reducing the regulatory burden and turnaround time associated with reusable stainless steel filter housings.

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 address 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. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

Sterilization Guidance

Supplied non-sterile, the polypropylene housing supports autoclave sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes when aseptic filtration is required by the application protocol.
