Supor (PES) Capsule Filters - 12461
Comprehensive manufacturer documentation and quality system traceability position Supor PES capsule filters for integration into regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing workflows. At its core, 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. 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 Supor (PES) Membrane Characteristics
- 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.
- Supor capsule devices are constructed from materials with documented biocompatibility and low extractable characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
- The Supor membrane platform provides consistent filtration performance across capsule formats from laboratory-scale evaluation devices through production-scale large-volume capsules.
- Rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius, the capsule maintains structural integrity and retention performance across the normal process temperature range.
- Maximum operating pressure of 75 psi provides the differential pressure capacity needed for sustained filtration of viscous solutions and high-flow process streams.
Key Capsule Construction Features
- The sealed polypropylene housing is individually integrity-tested during manufacturing, verifying membrane installation and housing seal quality before the device leaves the production facility.
- 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. 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. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.
Sterilization Guidance
Polypropylene construction throughout the device permits autoclave sterilization at standard conditions, enabling end-user preparation for sterile filtration applications as needed.
