Designed for fast processing and final filtration of aqueous samples, capsule filters provide efficient processing and enhanced throughput of difficult-to-filter solutions via an in-line installation. Applications include large-volume media preparation, pilot-scale manufacturing, and sterile filtration of buffers or biological solutions. These capsules are suitable for point-of-use filtration for laboratory water. Capsules are sterilized by gamma irradiation prior to bagging and the polycarbonate/polypropylene housing in most models ensure easy, rapid installation with no maintenance required.
