Supracap™ 100 Depth Filter Capsules

 

Supracap 100 capsules are available with either in-line or T-style configuration. The T-style design is ideally suited for manifolding multiple capsules in series or in a parallel configuration. Supracap 100 capsules are available in 127mm (5 in.), 254 mm (10 in), 508 mm (20 in.), and 762 mm (30 in.) lengths. The extensive range of the Seitz depth filter sheet portfolio is available. This includes*:

 

• All P-grade filter media with endotoxin levels below the detection limit
• All HP-grade filter media for excellent cell clarification applications and comprised of 2  distinct layers of P-grade filter media
• All Bio-grade filter media for very low protein adsorption applications

    * Others available upon request

 

Supracap 100 filter capsules are available with various inlet and outlet connections, including sanitary flange and hose barb.

 

Supracap 100 Capsules Meets Industry Requirements

 

Supracap 100 capsules have been designed to meet industry requirements, including autoclaving and low extractables. They offer high flow rates and throughputs and are designed to have minimal hold-up volumes. The translucent shell makes venting and draining easier as liquid levels are visible.

Dual-Layer Filter Media Grade Combinations

 

Media Grade Codes for Stax™, Supracap™ and Supradisc™ Modules

A dual layer media grade is a combination of two single layer media grades. The media grade code starts with P (Pharmaceutical Grade) followed by D (Dual layer) and the appropriate dual media combination ID. For generating a dual media combination ID, the appropriate top sheet grade letter (columns) is combined with the bottom sheet grade number or “x” (lines).
