FILTER MEDIA

amcChemCap

amcChemCap filters are nominally rated depth filters designed to meet the flow, differential pressure, and retention requirements of a wide range of microfiltration applications. Constructed of all polypropylene components, amcChemCap filters provide broad chemical compatibility. Engineered for high particle loading applications and long filter life, the filters offer excellent filtrate purity with low extractables and fiber releasing.

amcChemCap filters are available in a variety of pore sizes from 0.2 μm, 0.45 μm, 1 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 30 μm, and 60 μm with an effective filtration area of up to 4,000 cm² for small (S) to large (L) volume of filtration. There are two upstream vents for complete venting when initiating liquid filtration.

amcChemCap filters offer the efficiency of the amcPolyproFlow cartridges in the self contained filtration device, ideal for point-of-use applications and relatively small volume batch filtration.

Performance Advantages

Specifically selected long filament polypropylene fabrics pleated and assembled for extended filter life and high throughput
Provides broad chemical resistance to serve for stringent filtration conditions
Use of thermal welding technology during assembling process to eliminate the potential for extractables to be released from sealing adhesives
Sterilizable and sanitizable by most common methods
Save time and system downtime caused by frequent change-outs of string wound or tube filters
Autoclavable for multiple cycles

Typical Applications

Parenterals, ophthalmics, veterinary parenterals and sera, oral and topical medicines, water, toiletries, perfumes and colognes, shampoo, creams, lotions, ointments, mouthwashes, oils, make-up water, serum, blood fractions, tissue culture media, vaccines, liquid growth media, make-up water, fermentation additives
