Polypropylene Capsule Filter, 1.2um, 1/2" NPTM, Nonsterile, 1/Pk
GVS SKU: 1212932

Featuring a 1.2um hydrophobic polypropylene membrane housed in a ready-to-use disposable capsule, this all-purpose filter removes particles or bacteria from aqueous solutions, solvent solutions, and gas streams. The unit eliminates the need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble filter housings, and provides 0.8 ft² of effective filtration area. Two upstream vents are included to facilitate venting in any position, and the capsule contains no glue or surfactants.

Key Polypropylene Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic 1.2um polypropylene membrane suited to particle and bacteria removal from liquids and gases.
• Serial layer filter design delivers increased throughput and extended service life.
• Constructed without glue or surfactants to limit contamination of the filtrate.
• Preflushed with purified water to reduce extractables in membrane-containing units.
• Broad chemical compatibility supports aqueous and solvent applications.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Polypropylene capsule housing that is food compliant (FDA/EU); end-user responsible for confirming application-specific compliance.
• 1/2 inch NPTM inlet and outlet connections with a 1.5 inch capsule size.
• Two upstream vents to facilitate venting in any position.
• Nonsterile and supplied 1 per pack in low particulate plastic bags and individual boxes.
• Passes class VI toxicology testing and is integrity tested prior to shipment.

This disposable capsule maintains consistent particle retention while protecting downstream processes and preserving sample integrity. The integrity-tested, preflushed construction supports reliable, repeatable filtration performance across aqueous, solvent, and gas-stream applications.

• Particulate Removal The 1.2um membrane removes particles from aqueous and solvent solutions before downstream processing.
• Gas Stream Filtration The hydrophobic polypropylene membrane filters particles and bacteria from gas and air streams.
• Prefiltration Serves as a high-throughput prefilter that protects finer downstream membranes from heavily loaded samples.
• Solvent Filtration Broad chemical compatibility makes the capsule suitable for filtering solvent-based solutions.
• Process Liquid Clarification Clarifies aqueous process liquids while the serial layer design extends filter life.
• Bacteria Removal Removes bacteria from aqueous or solvent solutions in non-sterile filtration workflows.
