Supracap 50 depth filter capsules are ideal prefilters made with Seitz® high performance depth filter media for the removal of unwanted solids from solutions in laboratory and process development applications.

• High performance
• Low hold-up volume
• Increased recovery
• Four grades available
• Sterilization: Autoclave 1 cycle; 125 °C (248 °F) for 30 min.

Supracap 50 capsules feature low hold-up volume that allows for increased product recovery and that requires low post-use rinse volumes

The typical sample volume for the Supracap 50 depth filter capsules is 1 to 3 liters. The Supracap 50 capsules have been optimized for easy scale-up studies. Supracap 50 capsules are offered in 4 depth filter grades: Seitz Bio 20, Seitz P-series, Seitz HP-series, and Seitz AKS7.

The Seitz Bio 20 media grade is made of highly purified natural and modified celluloses and is free from inorganic materials. Seitz Bio 20 media is ideal for ion sensitive products such as therapeutic proteins, dialysis solutions, and protein-based diagnostics.

Seitz P-series media are comprised of cellulose fibers, filter aids (diatomaceous earth and perlite), and resins. This grade is recommended for coarse filtration in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries.

The Seitz AKS7 media grade is made of activated carbon within a matrix of cellulosic fibers. This immobilized carbon media is then coupled with a downstream filter paper to prevent carbon particle shedding downstream of the filter. The Seitz AKS7 media grade is recommended for decolorization and removal of other trace impurities.
