Polypropylene Capsule Filter, 0.2um, Size 5, 1/2" NPTM, Hydrophobic, Nonsterile, 1/Pk
GVS SKU: 1213057

Featuring a naturally hydrophobic polypropylene membrane in a chemically resistant polypropylene housing, this disposable capsule filter delivers reliable particle and bacteria removal from aqueous solutions, solvents, and gas streams at a 0.2um pore size. The ready-to-use design eliminates the need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble filter housings, and the serial layer media construction provides increased throughput and extended service life. The membrane media is preflushed with purified water to reduce extractables, and the unit contains no glue or surfactants.

Key Polypropylene Membrane Characteristics

• Naturally hydrophobic polypropylene membrane suited to chemical, solvent, acid, base, and vent or process air filtration
• 0.2um pore size for removal of particles and bacteria from aqueous solutions, solvents, and gas streams
• Serial layer filter design delivers increased throughput and extended filter life
• Contains no glue or surfactants, and membrane media is preflushed with purified water to reduce extractables
• Broad chemical compatibility for demanding fluid and gas applications

Key Construction Characteristics

• Polypropylene housing that may be repeatedly autoclaved for up to 5 cycles
• 1/2 inch male NPT (NPTM) connections in a size 5 capsule format
• Two upstream vents included to facilitate venting in any position
• Nonsterile, supplied 1 per pack, packaged in low particulate plastic bags and individual boxes
• Passes class VI toxicology testing and is integrity tested prior to shipment

This capsule maintains dependable filtration performance across aqueous, solvent, and gas applications while protecting sample integrity. The preflushed, glue-free media reduces extractables for cleaner results, and integrity testing prior to shipment supports consistent, repeatable filtration.

Hydrophobic

• Solvent and Chemical Filtration The hydrophobic polypropylene membrane offers broad chemical compatibility for filtering solvents, acids, bases, and fine chemicals.
• Process and Vent Air Filtration The hydrophobic media is suited to filtration of air and gas streams, including vent and process air applications.
• Particle Removal from Aqueous Solutions The 0.2um membrane removes particles from aqueous solutions ahead of downstream processes.
• High-Throughput Inline Filtration The serial layer design and size 5 format support larger-volume inline filtration with extended filter life.
• Sample Clarification The disposable capsule clarifies aqueous and solvent samples without housing disassembly or cleaning.
• Bacteria Removal The membrane is designed for the removal of bacteria from solutions and gas streams in nonsterile process settings.
