Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the primary applications of these PES capsule filters?
These filters are primarily designed for the prefiltration of cell culture media, buffer filtration, and protective pre-column or pre-ultrafiltration filtration processes.
Can the Challenge Pore® PES capsule filters be sterilized?
Yes, they can be sterilized using high-temperature steam at 121 °C for 30 minutes (up to 5 cycles) or through gamma irradiation at a dose range of 25–40 kGy.
What is the chemical compatibility range of the membrane?
The hydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane features broad chemical compatibility, operating reliably within a pH range of 1 to 14.
Are these capsule filters safe for biological applications?
Yes, they are highly biocompatible. They meet USP <87> Non-cytotoxic standards, comply with USP <88> Class VI plastic biocompatibility requirements, and have endotoxin levels below 0.25 EU/mL.
What are the maximum operating pressures and temperatures?
The maximum operating temperature is 80℃. The maximum differential pressure limit is 0.55 MPa at 25℃ and 0.1 MPa at 80℃.
What sizes and effective filtration areas are available?
They are available in three main configurations: Size 01 (0.05 ㎡), Size 05 (0.28 ㎡), and Size 10 (0.55 ㎡).
