Nylon Membrane – NM

NM Capsules are hydrophilic Nylon membrane, able to remove particles below the rated pore size of the membrane. These capsules exhibit superior retention, used across the beverage, electronic and pharmaceutical industries. Applications include high purity water, esters, solvents, cosmetics, alcohols, ketones, glycols and many others. PNM grade Nylon capsules are designed to be used as sterilizing grade capsules for the pharmaceutical industry. Nylon capsules see broad service in sterile fill applications in SVPs and as bio burden management filters in LVPs. Media and service liquid filtration are other common applications for this capsule. Nylon is particularly suited for the filtration of solvents because of it’s broad compatibility and low level of extractables. 100% integrity tested.

See the Flow Rate table in more image which represents typical water flow at a one psi (69 mbar) pressure differential across a single 2 inch capsule 1.0 ft² (930 cm²) of media with 1/2″ FNPT ports. The test fluid is water at ambient temperature. Higher pressure drops is acceptable, but as flows increase the pressure drop of the housing becomes more apparent.

Designed for general purpose use at an effective cost. Each module is rinsed with 17+ megohm-cm water to remove potential extraneous manufacturing debris. Each cartridge module is individually tested for integrity.

P – grade capsules are validated using modified HIMA protocols at a challenge level of 10⁷ organisms per cm² of filter media.
F & E – grade capsules are validated using modified HIMA protocols at a challenge level of 10⁶ organisms per cm² of filter media.
G – grade capsules are validated using modified HIMA protocols at a challenge level of 10⁴ organisms per cm² of filter media.
(0.22 µm challenged with Brevundimonas diminuta) (0.45 µm challenged with Serratia marcescens) (0.65 µm challenged with Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

All materials of construction are FDA accepted. Final assemblies have been validated to pass USP class 6 Toxicology extractable tests, oxidizable substances for plastics, endotoxin level and other quality tests.

Industry standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite and other selected chemicals. Sanitization protocols designed to extend the useful life of CP capsules are available from Critical Process Filtration, Inc.®.

The materials used to construct the membrane capsule filters are non-toxic and meet the requirements for the MEM Elution Cytotoxicity Test and USP24 Plastic Class V1 121°C Test.

Our goal is to ensure our customers the greatest possible value for their filtration dollar. We achieve both low cost manufacture and high quality by employing state of the art manufacturing equipment. This computer controlled equipment is highly automated, reducing hand operations that compromise quality. Each operation including assembly, testing, cleaning, drying and packaging is done in appropriately rated clean rooms. Critical Process Filtration manages an ISO 9000 facility that produces validated products to rigorous standards. Manufacturing is controlled using sophisticated MRP software that is networked to work stations in manufacturing centers and inspection points. During the manufacturing and inspection processes, data is collected “real time” from machinery and measuring instruments. This allows variable and attribute data to be quickly and easily analyzed to facilitate constant improvements in both quality and cost.

Critical Process Filtration, Inc.® is a vertically integrated supplier of filtration products and services to industries in which filtration is considered to be a critical part of the manufacturing process. We manufacture a complete line of products to help you achieve all your filtration requirements from a single source.
