Membrane Composition: Hydrophilic PVDF
Filtration Area: 0.021 m²
Sterilization: Gamma-Irradiated

XyCap PVDF Capsule Filters are specialized for low extractable liquid filtration, making them ideal for final filtration of buffers, WFI (Water for Injection), and protein-sensitive solutions. They incorporate a hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, known for its exceptionally low protein binding and superior filtration clarity. These filters are fully integrity-tested and gamma sterilized, supporting stringent requirements in sterile manufacturing, especially where minimizing leachables is critical.

Use Cases

• Final filtration of WFI, buffers, and low ionic strength solutions
• Sterile filtration in protein or enzyme-sensitive workflows
• Fill/finish filtration requiring extractables control
• QC and lab workflows involving high-purity fluids
• Pre-filtration of therapeutic proteins

Product Features

• Hydrophilic PVDF membrane: Low extractables and excellent flow characteristics
• Minimal protein binding: Ideal for protein-based drug applications
• Excellent clarity: Maintains high fluid purity post-filtration
• Sterile ready: Gamma-irradiated, integrity-tested
• Multiple fittings: Hose Barb, Tri-Clamp, Luer Lock
• Size 4 capsule format: Compact and scalable, 0.021 m² filtration area
