USD 2463b Supracap Depth Filter Capsules Providing the Benefits of Seitz High Performance Depth Filter Media in Scalable Capsule Formats
Scalable Single-use Depth Filtration The range of Supracap capsules provides a scalable and reliable depth filter platform for rapid process development for volumes from < 1 liter to over 100 liters, utilizing the same design, flow path, and filter media as larger scale Pall Supradisc depth filter modules and Stax capsules. Scalable both linearly in performance and seamlessly through product format transitions, Supracap capsules will save time and costs during critical screening, development and process operations. The fully disposable design eliminates any cleaning or handling concerns typically associated with housings, especially when dealing with biological and hazardous products. Inside Supracap 100 Capsules Benefitting from the proven Pall Supradisc II mechanically robust module design, Supracap 100 capsules enable consistent, reliable filtration results from batch to batch. Through the use of dual drainage plates, the Supradisc II module design imparts the structural integrity necessary for: Unobstructed process flow Consistent filtration results Minimized risk to filter media rupture in the event of reverse pressure The Supracap range of capsules has been designed to provide cost effectiveness, flexibility and ease-of-use, while minimizing the exposure risks for operators. Supracap 60 Capsules Ideal for developing and optimizing processes during scale-up and scale-down studies, the Supracap 60 capsules (effective filtration area [EFA] 26 cm 2 ) can be used to quickly and accurately determine the exact Seitz depth filter media necessary for process filtration success. And because the Supracap 60 capsules utilize similar design, filter media, and flow path construction as the larger Supracap 100 capsules, assurance of performance and process design during scale-up and scale-down studies is achieved. 2
S calability Following on from Supracap 60 capsules, Pall Supracap 100 capsules are available in 4 sizes ranging from 0.025m 2 to 0.3m 2 (0.27 ft 2 to 3.23 ft 2 ) EFA. These capsules can also be manifolded together to create even larger systems, to ensure we can meet your process requirements for perfect scale up when transitioning from small scale development through to commercial phase manufacturing.

Proven High Performance Depth Filter Media Incorporating Seitz Depth Filter Media Supracap capsules are available in a wide range of advanced pharmaceutical grade Seitz depth filter media. Supported with comprehensive validation guides, Seitz depth filter media meet the highest pharmaceutical standards for: Quality Lot-to-lot consistency Manufacturing control Low extractable content Low endotoxin content Scalability - Depth Filter Sheet Media Formats P-series HP-series Bio-series Biopharm Product Filtration Advanced Pharmaceutical Grade Depth Filter Media High Performance Cell Culture Clarification (10 grades) (Double layer w/20+ grades) 100 % Organic Filter Matrix Low Product Binding (2 grades) Applications With Pall s wide ranging Pharmaceutical grade depth filter sheets for use in the entire Supracap line of disposable capsules, flexibility to meet your unique process demands is attainable. P-series: Seitz P-series depth filter sheets were specifically developed for the strict requirements in biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries. Manufactured with stringent in-process control methods assures consistent filtration quality, a very high purity of filter medium, and alignment with the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. For further information, please reference Pall data sheet USD 2205 or validation guide USTR 2366. HP-series: Seitz HP-series depth filter sheets are comprised of two distinct layers of Seitz P-series depth filter sheets; a coarser layer upstream followed by a finer layer downstream. These performance-enhanced depth filter sheets have been designed for use in low viability, high solids containing applications. As small shifts in process conditions can cause dramatic differences in filtration requirements, the flexibility of combining any combination of P-series media in an HP format allows for improved process optimization. For further information, please reference Pall data sheet USD 2335 or validation guide USTR 2404. Bio-series: Supracap 60 capsules < 1-3 liters Supracap 100 capsules 3-100+ liters Supracap 200 capsules 50-2000+ liters Supradisc I modules 50-20,000+ liters Supradisc II modules 50-20,000+ liters Stax capsules 50-20,000+ liters Seitz Bio-series depth filter sheets are specially developed from highly purified natural and modified cellulose fibers and contain no inorganic materials such as diatomaceous earth (DE), perlite or glass fibers. The lack of these inorganic substances significantly reduces the levels of ash and heavy metal extractables. For further information please reference Pall data sheet USD 2201. 6

From Bench-top to Process A well integrated suite of single-use devices is critical when scaling up or down a process for further analysis. Apart from the ease of use aspect of these disposable products, designing them with similar flow resistance, flow paths and filter area utilization will produce results that more accurately predict what will be demonstrated at larger scales. Supported by these complimentary technologies, Pall has extended this seamless approach to products to their larger Stax capsule system (50 to 20,000+ liters). Building upon the same criteria for design, flow path, and filter media Pall has established a comprehensive suite of enabling single-use technologies providing seamless linear scalability in filtration performance from bench to process.
