Nylon Capsule Filter, 1.0um, 72mm x 115mm, 1/4 in. MNPT, Nonsterile, 1/Pk SKU: SF14987

Nylon Capsule Filters - SF14987

Nylon capsule filters offer inherent hydrophilicity and broad solvent compatibility, addressing filtration needs that span aqueous solutions, alcohols, and mixed solvent systems. 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. For this reason, 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

• 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.
• Rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius, the capsule maintains structural integrity and retention performance across the normal process temperature range.
• Non-sterile capsules support autoclave sterilization where the membrane and housing materials permit, allowing users to prepare devices according to their own validated sterilization protocols.
• 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.
• 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.
• Single-use polypropylene capsule construction eliminates cleaning validation requirements, reducing the regulatory burden and turnaround time associated with reusable stainless steel filter housings.
• Thermally fused polypropylene construction eliminates adhesives, binders, and O-rings from the fluid path, reducing extractable contamination and simplifying material qualification.
• Polypropylene housing materials provide documented biocompatibility and low extractable profiles, supporting integration into pharmaceutical and food-processing filtration applications.

Your laboratory's filtration throughput depends not only on membrane retention characteristics but on the practical factors of device connection, priming, and changeover that capsule filters are specifically engineered to optimize. 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. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.

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.
