Featuring a hydrophobic polypropylene membrane housed in a polypropylene capsule, this disposable filtration unit removes particles and bacteria from aqueous or solvent solutions and gas streams. With a 0.2um pore size and a size 10in housing fitted with a 1/4in NPTM connection, it ships ready to use and eliminates the need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble traditional filter holders. A serial layer filter design delivers increased throughput and extended service life, while two upstream vents allow venting in any position.
Key Polypropylene Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophobic polypropylene membrane suited to solvent, aqueous, and gas stream filtration
- 0.2um pore size for fine particulate and bacterial removal
- Serial layer filter construction provides increased throughput and extended filter life
- Contains no glue or surfactants, reducing the risk of sample contamination
- Broad chemical compatibility across a wide range of solvents and process fluids
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene capsule housing paired with a polypropylene membrane
- Size 10in housing with a 1/4in NPTM inlet connection
- Two upstream vents facilitate venting in any orientation
- Supplied nonsterile, one filter per pack

- Solvent Filtration The hydrophobic polypropylene membrane processes a broad range of organic solvents with strong chemical compatibility.
- Gas Stream Filtration Removes particles and bacteria from air and gas streams, making it well suited to in-line venting and gas handling.
- Aqueous Solution Clarification Clarifies aqueous solutions by capturing fine particulates ahead of downstream processes.
- Bacterial Particulate Removal The 0.2um pore size captures bacteria and fine particles from process fluids.
- Process Fluid Protection The serial layer design protects sensitive downstream equipment and membranes from particulate fouling.
- Contamination-Sensitive Filtration No glue or surfactant construction supports applications where extractables and contamination must be minimized.
