MasterSip MS Capsule

MS - Sterile Gas SIP PTFE Capsule

Brand MasterSip
Media: Gases
Micron Ratings: 0.2 µm
Filter Type: Pleated Membrane

Masterfilter MasterSip MS capsule filter designed for use in sterile air and gas filtration in biopharmaceutical and other applications. Composed of a hydrophobic PTFE membrane and a polyetherimide housing, these capsule filters provide an alternative to a stainless-steel housing/filter combination and thus reduces operating costs and maintenance time. Engineered polyetherimide material allows multiple SIP (steam-in-place) cycles at high pressures and temperatures. 

Features Benefits

  • In situ Integrity testable by WIT
  • Low investment cost compared to a standard filter and stainless-steel housing system
  • Steam sterilizable with long service life
  • Able to operate at high gas pressures up to 6.9 bar

Markets

  • Pharmaceuticals and Biologicals
