Description
- High-flux hydrophilic sterilizing-grade 0.1 µm rated PES membrane for improved process economy
- Designed for sterilizing grade performance and mycoplasma removal
- On-board PES membrane prefilter for extended throughput in high fouling media
- Robust construction which will withstand multiple sterilization cycles
- Easy wetting and integrity testing
- Broad chemical compatibility across a wide pH range (pH 1–14)
Millipore Express® SHR (Sterile High-Retention) Opticap® capsules provide sterilizing-grade performance and mycoplasma removal across a range of bioprocess solutions including: cell culture media, media additives, process intermediates, and other biological fluids. Millipore Express® SHR Opticap capsules provide high sterility assurance, broad chemical compatibility, high flow rates and extended throughput for superior process efficiency and economy.
Sterilizing-grade Millipore Express®SHR capsule filters are available with an on-board polyethersulfone membrane prefilter which protects the sterilizing grade 0.1 µm rated membrane from premature plugging for enhanced throughput in high fouling streams. These high-retention filters are recommended for the removal of mycoplasma and other small microorganisms that can pass through a 0.2 µm rated sterilizing-grade filter.
Filter Applications
- Cell culture media
- Media additives
- Serum
- Concentrated protein
- Process intermediates
- Biologicals

Enhanced Sterility Assurance
Millipore Express® SHR sterilizing-grade devices are designed for the removal of mycoplasma and small microorganisms that can pass through a 0.2 µm rated sterilizing grade filter. Millipore Express® SHR filters have demonstrated high mycoplasma removal – typical Log Reduction Value (LRV) ≥ 7 using Acholeplasma laidlawii ATCC® 23206 and Millipore's standardized test method.

Superior Process Efficiency/Economy
Millipore Express® SHR filters provide high flow rates, broad chemical compatibility (pH 1–14) and extended capacity for lower filtration costs. You get fast flowing, caustic stable filters which provide enhanced sterility assurance and high performance with cell culture media, sera and other high fouling biological process solutions.
Reduce Surface Area and Lower Your Costs
The on-board polyethersulfone membrane prefilter protects the sterilizing grade membrane from premature plugging and extends filter capacity in highly fouling streams, so you can maintain batch volume while reducing filtration surface area requirements.

Multiple Formats Available
Opticap®XL 150, 300, and 600 capsule filters with Millipore Express® membranes are ideal for small volume sterile filling applications and process development work. An optional filling bell can be used to reduce contamination risk when transferring sterile media from large containers to media bottles or culture vessels.
Opticap® XL 3, 5, and 10 capsule filters have a unique design to minimize hold-up volume and reduce production losses.
Opticap® XLT 10, 20, and 30 T-line capsule filters design accomodates series or parallel filtration to match your application needs, and a specially-designed stand enables quick and easy integration of the Opticap® XLT filter into your existing process.
All of these formats are available as gamma-compatible or sterile devices. Opticap® XL 3 and larger capsules are also available as autoclavable devices.
