Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the primary applications for the Challenge Pore® PES capsule filters?
They are typically used for the prefiltration of cell culture media, buffer filtration, and protective pre-column or pre-ultrafiltration filtration tasks.
What sterilization methods can be applied to these filters?
The filters can be sterilized using high-temperature steam at 121 °C for 30 minutes (up to 5 cycles) or through gamma irradiation within a range of 25–40 kGy.
What are the key biosafety standards met by these filters?
They exhibit endotoxin levels of less than 0.25 EU/mL, comply with USP <87> for non-cytotoxicity, and meet USP <88> Class VI plastic biocompatibility requirements.
What materials are used in the construction of the capsule filter?
The filter membrane is made of Hydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES), the inner/outer cages and capsule housing are made of Polypropylene (PP), and the vent O-ring is constructed from Silicone Rubber.
What are the maximum operating pressure limits?
The maximum differential pressure is 0.55 MPa at a temperature of 25℃ and decreases to 0.1 MPa at an elevated temperature of 80℃.
