Nylon Capsule Filter, 1.0um, 72mm x 100mm, 3/8 in. Hose Barb, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14932

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14932

Nylon capsule filters offer inherent hydrophilicity and broad solvent compatibility, addressing filtration needs that span aqueous solutions, alcohols, and mixed solvent systems. In addition, 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. The outcome is a validated filtration barrier that arrives ready for process integration, supporting the single-use manufacturing strategies adopted by modern pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.

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.
• Thermally fused polypropylene construction eliminates adhesives, binders, and O-rings from the fluid path, reducing extractable contamination and simplifying material qualification.
• Single-use polypropylene capsule construction eliminates cleaning validation requirements, reducing the regulatory burden and turnaround time associated with reusable stainless steel filter housings.

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. If your laboratory processes diverse aqueous and organic solutions, the natural hydrophilicity and broad solvent compatibility of nylon membrane construction simplifies your workflow across application types. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.

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.
