Lab Capsule Filters

Lab Capsule Filters

Overview

Capsule filters are compact, efficient filtration devices widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, biotechnology, and water treatment. These filters provide high-performance particle retention, sterilization, and clarification, making them essential for ensuring product purity and safety.

Cobetter lab capsule filters provide sterility assurance and high flow rates for your validated process steps. It is supported by extensive documentation to fulfill your regulatory requirements.

Applications of Capsule Filters in Pharmaceutical & Biotech

Sterile filtration of vaccines, antibiotics, and injectables

  • 0.2 µm Sterilizing-Grade Filters. The final 0.2 µm membrane ensures sterility of your product. With a 0.45 µm pre-filter can significantly improve the capacity of the filter. 

Removal of microorganisms from biologics and cell culture media

  • 0.45 µm membrane are designed for bioburden reduction and particle removal from a broad range of pharmaceutical products. They offer extremely high flow rates and high throughputs and are ideal for membrane prefiltration of aqueous solutions and highly viscous products.

Final product filtration before packaging.

Features

  • Compact Design --- Pre-assembled and easy to install, saving space and setup time.
  • High Flow Rates --- Optimized membrane structure allows fast filtration without clogging.
  • Sterile Methods --- Gamma-irradiated; Autoclavable and reusable: withstand 130℃ autoclave sterilization for 30 min at 130 °C, 20 times.
  • Chemical Compatibility – Resistant to a wide range of solvents and aggressive fluids.

How to Use a Capsule Filter?

Step 1: Select the Right Capsule Filter

Choose the appropriate pore size (0.1µm, 0.2µm, 0.45µm, etc.) based on your application.

Ensure compatibility with your fluid type (aqueous, organic, or aggressive chemicals).

Step 2: Install the Capsule Filter

Connect the inlet and outlet ports securely to avoid leaks.

For sterile processes, ensure aseptic handling to prevent contamination.

Step 3: Pre-Flush (If Required)

Some filters require pre-rinsing with the process fluid to remove initial extractables.

Step 4: Begin Filtration

Monitor pressure and flow rate to avoid exceeding the filter’s capacity.

Replace the filter when flow decreases significantly or pressure increases.
