AcroPak 1500 Capsules w/ Supor EKV Membrane - 0.2um, 13mm, Gamma-Irradiated , 1/Pk SKU: 12467

Supor (PES) Capsule Filters - 12467

Backed by comprehensive manufacturer validation data, Supor PES capsule filters support the documentation requirements of pharmaceutical and biotechnology production environments. The Supor PES membrane platform scales consistently from laboratory evaluation through production implementation, with capsule effective filtration areas ranging from bench-scale to large-batch formats. Altogether, the outcome is simplified regulatory documentation and reduced contamination risk, with each single-use capsule providing a validated, traceable filtration event.

Key Supor (PES) Membrane Characteristics

• Maximum operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius supports filtration of warm solutions and accommodates the thermal conditions present in process environments.
• Supor capsule devices are constructed from materials with documented biocompatibility and low extractable characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
• Supor PES membrane technology achieves the lowest protein binding levels in the polyethersulfone category, preserving biologics through the filtration process with minimal adsorptive losses.
• Supor PES membrane exhibits broad compatibility with aqueous buffers, aliphatic alcohols, and glycols across pH 1-14, supporting diverse pharmaceutical processing applications within a single membrane platform.
• 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.

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.
• 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 provides broad chemical compatibility from pH 1 to 14, resisting the acids, bases, and process chemicals that degrade alternative housing materials.
• 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. If your pharmaceutical process requires validated filtration performance with comprehensive regulatory documentation, Supor PES capsule filters provide the performance data and quality certifications your filing depends on. 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.
