Nylon Capsule Filter, 1.0um, 72mm x 95mm, 1/4 - 3/8 in. Stepped Hose Barb, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14936

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14936

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. The broad solvent compatibility of nylon membrane extends across aqueous, alcoholic, and mixed organic systems, providing a single capsule platform for laboratories filtering diverse reagent types at volume. As designed, 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.
• Maximum operating pressure of 75.4 psi provides the differential pressure capacity needed for sustained filtration of viscous solutions and high-flow process streams.
• Capsule holdup volume of 25 milliliters represents the fluid retained within the device after filtration, an important factor when calculating yield for high-value pharmaceutical products.
• 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.
• The 80 degree Celsius temperature limit ensures reliable capsule performance for ambient and moderately heated filtration applications.

Key Capsule Construction Features

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

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.
