With high flow and capacity, broad fluid compatibility, and low protein adsorption, AcroPak™ 200 capsules with Supor™ membrane, a Pall Life Sciences product, are best suited for filtration of preparative fluids such as buffers, media, and bioprocess intermediates.
Efficient Processing of Liquid Volumes Up To 20 L
Supor™ membrane has high flow rates and throughputs, and is ideal for solutions where low protein binding is required. Not recommended for use with some ketones.
Built-in prefilter extends filter life when particulate-laden solutions, such as serum-containing media, are processed.
Upstream vent prevents vapor lock.
Manufactured without the use of adhesives to minimize extractables.
Sterilization by gamma irradiation eliminates potential contamination by EtO residuals.
