Advantec Capsule Filters are disposable self-contained filter units that are 100% integrity tested and ready to use. Filters encompass absolute membrane or depth-type filter media and are sealed in a chemically compatible all-polypropylene housing. Offered in five different filter media: PES, PTFE, PTFE Hydrophilic, Polypropylene, and Glass Fiber and retentive pore sizes range from 0.05 to 70 µm. Use for small batch point-of-use filtration or set in serial mode to further maximize throughput. Capsules are available in three different lengths and four end-connections.
Typical applications include batch processing of a broad range of fluids including tissue culture media, fermentation broths, ground water, and point-of-use sterile filtration. Capsule filters are perfect for pilot/prototype studies with eventual scale-up as many of the same filter media are available in cartridge format with a larger effective filtration area.
Advantec Capsule filters are not for use with air filtration.
