AquaPrep GroundWaterSampling Capsules & Devices - 0.45um, Supor Membrane, 10/Pk SKU: 12176

Supor (PES) Capsule Filters - 12176

For environmental monitoring programs requiring high-volume water filtration at remote sampling sites, purpose-built sampling capsules deliver the capacity and portability that laboratory devices cannot. Capsule construction designed for field deployment withstands the transport, handling, and connection conditions encountered at remote groundwater wells, surface water stations, and portable sampling installations. Consequently, the result is a filtration process that eliminates cleaning validation, reduces changeover time, and provides batch-to-batch consistency through factory-tested, integrity-verified devices.

Key Supor (PES) Membrane Characteristics

Maximum operating temperature of 60 degrees Celsius supports filtration of warm solutions and accommodates the thermal conditions present in process environments.
Rated for operating pressures up to 75 psi, the capsule housing withstands the system pressures encountered in peristaltic pump, pressure vessel, and gravity-feed filtration configurations.
Supor PES membrane technology achieves the lowest protein binding levels in the polyethersulfone category, preserving biologics through the filtration process with minimal adsorptive losses.
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.
Supor PES capsules are backed by comprehensive validation documentation including extractable profiles and bacterial challenge test data from the manufacturer.

Key Capsule Construction Features

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.
Single-use polypropylene capsule construction eliminates cleaning validation requirements, reducing the regulatory burden and turnaround time associated with reusable stainless steel filter housings.
The sealed polypropylene housing is individually integrity-tested during manufacturing, verifying membrane installation and housing seal quality before the device leaves the production facility.

Whether your process requires sterilizing-grade retention for a 500-milliliter bench trial or clarification capacity for a 100-liter production batch, the right capsule filter configuration eliminates the compromises between throughput, retention, and operational simplicity. If your monitoring program requires high-volume water collection at remote field sites, environmental sampling capsules provide the flow capacity and physical durability your regulatory methods demand. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

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.
