The Supracap 200 depth filter capsule provides all the features and benefits of the Supradisc and Supradisc II modules in a single-use, disposable design.
The advantages of encapsulated disposable systems are linked with highly reduced operator exposure risks, less cleaning effort, increased yields and better handling. These are the main reasons why disposable capsules are used throughout the pharmaceutical industry. Capsule filters can help eliminate cleaning problems, especially where biological products are to be filtered. In applications where hazardous materials are being filtered, such as cytotoxic drugs, or where toxic materials like catalysts or contaminated activated carbon has to be removed, Pall Supracap 200 capsules offer better operator protection and simplify process-handling. Pall Supracap 200 capsules are the first encapsulated single-use depth filter modules for large-scale process filtration.
The capsule design provides a lower hold-up volume than Supradisc modules in stainless steel housings, allowing greater product recovery. The encapsulated modules are installed in a Pall Advanta Supracap 200 housing. The housing functions as a means of secondary pressure containment and does not require cleaning. The inlet and outlet pipes are removable and cleanable. The Supracap 200 housing can also be used withSupradisc modules.
