PTFE Capsule Filter, 0.22um, 1.5" Sanitary Flange, Nonsterile, 1/Pk
GVS SKU: 1212978

Featuring a hydrophobic PTFE membrane in a ready-to-use disposable capsule, this 0.22um filter removes particles and bacteria from aqueous solutions, solvent solutions, and gas streams. It is supplied nonsterile with 1.5 inch sanitary flange connections, eliminating the need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble filter housings. The serial layer filter design increases throughput and extends service life, while the construction contains no glue or surfactants.

Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics

• Inherently hydrophobic membrane that resists wetting, making it well suited to gas, vent, and solvent filtration
• Broad chemical compatibility with strong acids, bases, oxidants, and aggressive solvents such as alcohols
• Effective removal of particles and bacteria from aqueous solutions, solvent solutions, and gas streams
• 0.22um pore size for fine particulate and bioburden reduction
• Constructed with no glue or surfactants to limit sample interference

Key Construction Characteristics

• Disposable capsule format with 1.5 inch sanitary flange connections
• Two upstream vents facilitate venting in any position
• Serial layer filter design increases throughput and extends service life
• Supplied nonsterile, one filter per pack

This capsule delivers reliable, ready-to-use filtration that maintains sample integrity across aqueous, solvent, and gas applications. The hydrophobic PTFE medium provides consistent particulate and bioburden reduction with broad chemical compatibility, while the surfactant-free construction protects downstream processes from contamination.

Wettability

Hydrophobic

• Solvent Filtration The chemically resistant hydrophobic PTFE membrane filters aggressive solvents, acids, bases, and oxidants without wetting out.
• Gas and Vent Filtration The hydrophobic 0.22um membrane allows gas to pass while blocking moisture and contaminants, ideal for venting and process gas streams.
• Bioburden Reduction The 0.22um pore size reduces bacteria and fine particulates from process fluids and gas streams.
• Particle Removal The capsule removes particulates from aqueous and solvent solutions in a ready-to-use disposable format.
• Bulk Chemical Processing Broad chemical compatibility makes the PTFE medium suitable for filtering electronics-grade and bulk chemicals.
• Aerosol and Phase Separation The inherently hydrophobic membrane supports phase separation and aerosol sampling without absorbing moisture.
