0.2μm AseptiCap® KSO Large
MDI AseptiCap® KSO are polyethersulfone membrane capsule filters offering wide pH (1-14) compatibility. These filters are specially designed for alkaline fluid streams in bio-pharma manufacturing processes, with added advantage of high throughputs and low hold up volumes.
These capsule filters offer serial filtration incorporating a large pore size upstream membrane to protect the downstream membrane for enhanced throughputs.
AseptiCap® KSO are validated for use in pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical applications.
