Home | Filtration Devices | Capsule Filters | Polycap TC

Polycap™ TC (PES) is available with and without a filling bell, they are 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 biosafe, 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 nonsterile 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

Applications
  • Aqueous solutions
  • Biologicals
  • Buffers
  • Cleaning/rinsing solutions
  • Enzymes
  • High-quality water
  • Particle counting solutions
  • Pharmaceutical solutions
  • Reagent preparation
  • Salt solutions
  • Tissue culture media
  • Virus suspensions

 

Technical Properties - Polycap TC 
Housing Polypropylene 
Vent On inlet 
Membrane Polyethersulfone (PES) 
Support system Polypropylene 
Sealing Heat-fused 
Maximum pressure 4.1 bar (60 psi)
Flow direction If there is a prefilter, it is located on the inlet side and flow should follow arrows
