AcroPak 200 Capsules w/ Supor Membrane - 0.8/0.2um, Gamma-Irradiated , w/ Filling Bell (3/Pkg) SKU: 12941

Supor (PES) Capsule Filters - 12941

Supor PES capsule filters provide consistent membrane performance from laboratory evaluation through pilot and full production batch volumes within a single validated platform. 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 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

• Supor PES capsules are backed by comprehensive validation documentation including extractable profiles and bacterial challenge test data from the manufacturer.
• Maximum operating pressure of 60 psi provides the differential pressure capacity needed for sustained filtration of viscous solutions and high-flow process streams.
• The 60 degree Celsius temperature limit ensures reliable capsule performance for ambient and moderately heated filtration applications.
• Internal holdup volume of 6 milliliters minimizes sample loss during capsule filtration, a critical consideration when processing expensive biologics or limited-volume preparations.
• Supor PES membrane technology achieves the lowest protein binding levels in the polyethersulfone category, preserving biologics through the filtration process with minimal adsorptive losses.

Key Capsule Construction Features

• Stepped hose barb connections accommodate tubing with inner diameters from 1/4 to 1/2 inch, providing secure push-fit attachment without requiring clamps or specialized fittings.
• Polypropylene capsule housing supports autoclave sterilization at 121 degrees Celsius and withstands gamma irradiation exposure, accommodating both user-sterilized and factory-sterilized device configurations.
• Thermally fused polypropylene construction eliminates adhesives, binders, and O-rings from the fluid path, reducing extractable contamination and simplifying material qualification.
• The sealed polypropylene housing is individually integrity-tested during manufacturing, verifying membrane installation and housing seal quality before the device leaves the production facility.

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. With these demands in mind, 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. 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.
