amcAccuCap

amcAccuCap capsule filters are specifically designed using advanced filtration technology.  They incorporate serial layers of amcAccupor membrane (hydrophilic polyethersulfone membrane) to provide high throughputs and particle retention.  All product components are fusion-welded to ensure lower extractables.

amcAccuCap filters are available in 3 pore sizes: 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, and 0.45 μm.  Four sizes of amcAccuCap are available: amcAccuCap-S is recommended for filtration of liquids up to 50 liters of most solutions, amcAccuCap-M is recommended for solutions up to 100 liters, amcAccuCap-L is recommended for filtering up to 150 liters of most solutions, and amcAccuCap-J is recommended for filtration up to 300 liters.

amcAccuCap filters contain up to 40% more effective filtration area than other capsule filters on the market.  This product offers the efficiency of amcAccuFlow cartridges in a self contained filtration device being ideal for point-of-use applications and small to medium volume batch filtration.

   

Performance Advantages

  • Hydrophilic amcAccupor polyethersulfone membrane offers outstanding particle retention while maintaining high flow rates
  • Provides excellent resistance to severe sanitizing agents
  • A variety of inlet/outlet configurations allow easy installation into existing filtration systems
  • Use of thermal welding technology during assembling process eliminates the potential for extractables to be released from sealing adhesives
  • Sterilized with gamma irradiation (upon requested) eliminates potential for contamination by cytotoxic EtO residuals; ready to use                                                                                                                                                                                            

Typical Applications

  • Parenterals, ophthalmics, oral and topical medicines, serum, tissue culture media, wash and rinse water, diagnostic reagents, buffers, vaccines, bottle and vial washers, dry compressed gases, make-up water
