Supor (PES) Capsule Filters - 12686
Backed by comprehensive manufacturer validation data, Supor PES capsule filters support the documentation requirements of pharmaceutical and biotechnology production environments. Manufactured to exacting specifications, 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. 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
- The non-sterile format provides the same membrane retention and flow performance as sterile variants, with the flexibility for user-controlled sterilization when process requirements dictate.
- 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.
- Supor PES membrane technology achieves the lowest protein binding levels in the polyethersulfone category, preserving biologics through the filtration process with minimal adsorptive losses.
- Rated for operating pressures up to 60 psi, the capsule housing withstands the system pressures encountered in peristaltic pump, pressure vessel, and gravity-feed filtration configurations.
- Supor capsule devices are constructed from materials with documented biocompatibility and low extractable characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
Key Capsule Construction Features
- Polypropylene housing materials provide documented biocompatibility and low extractable profiles, supporting integration into pharmaceutical and food-processing filtration applications.
- 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.
- Single-use polypropylene capsule construction eliminates cleaning validation requirements, reducing the regulatory burden and turnaround time associated with reusable stainless steel filter housings.
When your filtration protocol calls for a validated, integrity-testable barrier that arrives ready to connect and begins filtering immediately, the capsule format delivers that capability without the overhead of traditional filter assemblies. 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
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.
