Nylon Capsule Filter, 0.10um, 72mm x 115mm, 1/4 in. MNPT, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14983

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14983

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. 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. The result is a filtration workflow that scales efficiently from method development through production, delivering consistent retention performance across the full range of capsule effective filtration areas.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

• The single-layer configuration delivers efficient filtration of clean solutions at lower differential pressures than dual-layer alternatives, supporting gravity-feed and low-pressure applications.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• The 60 milliliter holdup volume reflects the capsule's internal fluid path geometry, relevant to recovery calculations for precious samples and small-batch pharmaceutical formulations.

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.
• 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 supports autoclave sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius and withstands gamma irradiation exposure, accommodating both user-sterilized and factory-sterilized device configurations.
• Polypropylene housing materials provide documented biocompatibility and low extractable profiles, supporting integration into pharmaceutical and food-processing filtration applications.

As single-use filtration continues to replace reusable housings across pharmaceutical and laboratory environments, your capsule filter selection determines both the quality of the filtrate and the efficiency of the workflow. For this application, 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

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.
