Disposable Depth Filter Capsules
Disposable depth capsule filters are a modern solution used in various industries for the filtration of liquids and gases. They feature a design in the form of capsules (single-use filtration inserts) that contain filtering materials (e.g., nonwoven fabrics, membranes). These filters are particularly popular in the food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries because they provide a high degree of purity and convenience, eliminating the need for cleaning and reuse. Capsule filters are typically available in accuracy ranges from 0.25 microns up to 15 microns, which are commonly used in applications such as microfiltration, particle removal, or endotoxin removal. Filtration occurs in a depth mode, meaning that the liquid or gas flows through the filter material along its thickness, rather than just on its surface. This results in better separation of contaminants. These filters are designed to retain solid particles, microbiological contaminants, and other substances that may be present in the processed liquids or gases.
