Pall's UpScale^SM Program

From drug discovery and basic research, through process development and production, Pall Corporation is the single source for all of your filtration and separation needs. Our UpScale program provides you with the scalable filtration products and support you need to bring new products to market faster.

UpScale direct flow filtration products inclue: Acrodisc® syringe filters, AcroPak capsules, and Kleenpak™ capsules. These products use the same membranes in larger or smaller effective filtration areas.

Filter Capsules

Designed for processing volumes up to 100L. Fluorodyne II membrane is a hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) that offers higher flow rates with low protein and preservative binding, and broad chemical and temperature resistance.
