FAQ

|---|---|
| What are the most common causes of filter clogging (air bubbles, particulates, surface tension, inappropriate filter size etc.)? | Trapped bubbles, particulates and improper sizing are all common causes of fitration issues. True filter clogging is caused by particulates. Hard particles will form a cake on the filter surface. This will generally slow the filtration but not necessarily block filtration becuase fluid can flow through the layer of hard particles and then through the filter. Deformable particles can compress across the filter pores, forming impermeable barriers to filtration. This type of problem is common with solutions containing proteins or lipids. |

Description
A trusted name in the industry for over 25 years, Durapore® sterilizing-grade 0.1 µm and 0.22 µm hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are low protein binding and provide sterility assurance, high flow rates and throughputs. The Durapore membrane contributes to clean processes due to low extractables, broad chemical compatibility, and its non-fiber releasing properties.
Opticap XL and XLT capsule filters eliminate the time and expense associated with assembling, cleaning, and validating stainless steel housings. The capsule patented design allows unparalleled thermal and hydraulic stress resistance, resulting in reliability, high confidence in the sterility process and improved cleanliness. The unique capsule design with pleated Durapore membrane minimizes hold-up volume and reduces production losses.
Regulatory Compliance
Filters with hydrophilic Durapore membrane are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO® 9000 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality. Each Opticap XL and XLT capsule is integrity tested during manufacturing and is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.
For traceability and easy identification, each device is marked with the product name and identifying characteristics.
Multiple Formats Available
Opticap XL 2, 4, 5 and 10 capsule filters with hydrophilic Durapore membrane are available in multiple filtration areas, providing an optimal choice for every application.
Opticap XLT 10, 20 and 30 T-line Capsule Filters with hydrophilic Durapore membrane accommodate series or parallel filtration to match your application needs, and a specially-designed stand enables quick and easy integration of the Opticap XLT into your existing process.
