PVDF Capsule Filters
The PoreCap® series of PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) capsule filters are ready-to-use sterile grade filtration devices that offer low protein binding.
Assembled with our advanced PVDF Membrane technology, these filters are best suited for filtration of valuable protein solutions such as vaccines, antibodies, plasma products and hormonal injectables.
Manufactured in-house in ISO Class 8 cleanrooms, these devices incorporate highly efficient sterilizing grade PVDF Membranes safely placed inside a Polypropelene housing.
Crafted with precision & expertise, the PoreCap® PVDF capsule filters are easy to install & use as they eliminate the need to clean and validate the stainless-steel housing separately.
Membrane Characteristics: The PoreCap® PVDF Capsule filters incorporate filters incorporate hydrophilic PVDF membrane that offers high flow rates, a high number of sterilization cycles, and ultra-low protein binding.
