Product Description
GE capsules are disposable filtration units designed for the removal of particles or bacteria from aqueous or solvent solutions and gas streams. They are ready to use, eliminating the need to disassemble, clean and reassemble filter housings.
GE capsules contain no glue or surfactants and feature serial layer filter design for increased throughput and extended life. Two upstream vents are included to facilitate venting in any position. All capsules containing membrane media are preflushed with 18-megohm water to reduce extractables.
GE capsules pass class VI toxicology testing and are integrity tested prior to shipment. Capsule filters are available in sterile and nonsterile versions. The capsules are available with the following connections: 3/8 or 1/4 inch hose barb, 1/4 or 1/2 inch NPTM, 1.5 inch sanitary flange.
Available As: Serial-layer Magna Nylon, Serial-layer Magna Nylon Radiation Sterilized, Teflon, PES (Polyethersulfone), PES (Polyethersulfone) Radiation Sterilized and Polypropylene (rated at > 80% efficiency).
