PALL 12117 Pleated Capsule Filter with Versapor supported acrylic copolymer membrane, 0.2 µm, sterile (1/pkg)

This capsule filter is designed for prefiltration and clarification of liquids, such as serum or laboratory solutions, before final sterilizing filtration. It is also suitable for removing particulates and debris from liquids that do not require sterile filtration.

The Versapor membrane offers broad chemical compatibility and consistent flow performance, making it ideal for a wide range of laboratory fluids. Its supported structure improves durability while maintaining efficient particle retention at 0.2 µm.

Yes, this model is supplied pre-sterilized, allowing it to be used in workflows that require clean processing conditions. However, it is typically used for prefiltration or non-final sterile filtration steps, depending on the application.

The pleated design increases the effective filtration surface area, which helps deliver higher flow rates and longer service life compared to flat membrane filters. This reduces clogging and improves efficiency during processing.

The Pall 12117 features a polycarbonate housing with a fully enclosed capsule design, minimizing contamination risk and ensuring durability. It also includes vented construction, which helps eliminate air pockets and improves filtration performance.
