Polycap TC (PES) is available with and without a filling bell, theyare disposable, dual layer polyethersulfone (PES) membrane filtration capsules that provide efficient filtration for critical aqueous solutions.

 
The PES membrane is inherently hydrophilic, has low extractables, is bio-safe, has excellent flow rates and exhibits low protein binding.
 
 
 
Features and Benefits
  • Polycap TC/PES 0.2/0.1, 0.2/0.2 and 0.8/0.2 µm capsules pass the HIMA Challenge Test for Sterilizing Grade Filters
  • 100% integrity-tested during manufacturing; results are correlated to microbial retention
  • Housing thermally fused (no surfactants or mold releasing agents)
  • Integrity-testable by bubble point, pressure decay or forward flow methods
  • Available in sterile and non-sterile versions with a filling bell option
  • Manufactured in clean room facilities under ISO Quality Systems
  • PES membrane protein adsorption characteristics:
    HSA 0.4 µg/cm2
    Insulin 2.0 µg/cm2
    Gammaglobulin 1.5 µg/cm2
