Opticap XL Disposable Capsule Filters with Hydrophobic Aervent Membrane

Opticap XL Disposable Capsule Filters with Hydrophobic Aervent Membrane



Superior Filters for the Sterile Filtration of Gases
The 0.2 µm hydrophobic Aervent® polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane provides sterility assurance, high flow rates and throughput. The Aervent membrane contributes to clean processes due its non-fiber releasing properties.

Opticap XL 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.



Regulatory Compliance
Filters with hydrophobic Aervent 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 capsule filter is integrity tested during manufacturing and is supported by a comprehensive Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.

For traceability and easy identification, each filter is labeled with the product name, lot number and serial number.



Multiple Formats Available
Opticap XL capsule filters with hydrophobic Aervent membrane are available in multiple filtration areas, providing an optimal choice for every application.
