30 Inch Single Layer Pharmaceutical Grade Filter Capsule (SPCXPGC)

Click here for more information

The SPCX Capsule Filter features a single-layer, positively charged Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane that provides reliable sterilizing-grade filtration and endotoxin removal. Available in pore sizes from 0.03 to 0.45 µm, SPCX filters are validated for absolute bacterial retention and offer high flow rates with minimal pressure drop. The electropositive membrane attracts and retains negatively charged biological contaminants, including endotoxins and viruses, making it ideal for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical applications.

Key Features:

• Validated 0.03–0.45 µm absolute-rated PES membrane
• Electropositive charge enhances removal of endotoxins and cell debris
• Delivers >2-log endotoxin reduction
• 100% integrity tested and USP-compliant
• High flow rates and long service life
