AcroPak 200 Capsules w/ Supor EKV Membrane - 0.2um (3/Pkg) SKU: 12094

Supor (PES) Capsule Filters - 12094

Supor PES capsule filters provide consistent membrane performance from laboratory evaluation through pilot and full production batch volumes within a single validated platform. Optimized for laboratory use, the Supor PES membrane's asymmetric pore architecture delivers industry-leading flow rates and throughput capacity in a validated sterilizing-grade format backed by comprehensive pharmaceutical documentation packages. Together, 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 Supor (PES) Membrane Characteristics

• Non-sterile configuration accommodates laboratory and industrial applications where the capsule filter serves a clarification or protection function rather than a sterilizing-grade barrier role.
• The asymmetric Supor membrane structure maximizes dirt-holding capacity and flow rates, delivering throughput performance that reduces the number of capsule devices required per batch.
• The Supor membrane platform provides consistent filtration performance across capsule formats from laboratory-scale evaluation devices through production-scale large-volume capsules.
• Internal holdup volume of 6 milliliters minimizes sample loss during capsule filtration, a critical consideration when processing expensive biologics or limited-volume preparations.
• Supor capsule devices are constructed from materials with documented biocompatibility and low extractable characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Key Capsule Construction Features

• Polypropylene capsule housing supports autoclave sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius and withstands gamma irradiation exposure, accommodating both user-sterilized and factory-sterilized device configurations.
• The sealed polypropylene housing is individually integrity-tested during manufacturing, verifying membrane installation and housing seal quality before the device leaves the production facility.
• Thermally fused polypropylene construction eliminates adhesives, binders, and O-rings from the fluid path, reducing extractable contamination and simplifying material qualification.
• Polypropylene capsule housing provides broad chemical compatibility from pH 1 to 14, resisting the acids, bases, and process chemicals that degrade alternative housing materials.

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 biopharmaceutical manufacturing where retention validation and product recovery are equally critical, Supor membrane technology delivers the documented performance and ultra-low binding your process demands. 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.
