BECO MiniCap filters are ready-to-use for the filtration of small volumes of media containing particles, or for microbiological removal in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
Eaton's BECO MiniCap depth filters have a filter area of 3.3 in² (21 cm²). With a filtration volume of 0.26 – 2.6 gal (1 – 10 liter) and suitable for laboratory applications and scale-up trials. Eaton's BECO MiniCap depth filter capsules are available with the BECO PR depth filter sheets and used for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, or with more open CP2KS types for prefiltration.
BECO MiniCap Filters with BECO PR Depth Filter Sheet
The PR range, specifically for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, has an innovative production process that ensures the endotoxin content is less than 0.125 EU/ml. The special characteristic of this series is high endotoxin retention during filtration of different pharmaceutical products.
BECO MiniCap CP2KS Filters
BECO MiniCap CP2KS filters are optimal for the filtration of strongly colloidal and highly viscous liquids and for liquids containing particles. The high dirt holding capacity enables long service life of the depth filter medium.
Applications
BECO MiniCap filters have a filter area of 21 cm². With a filtration volume of 1 – 10 liter, they are suitable for laboratory applications and scale-up trials.
BECO MiniCap filters are available with the BECO PR depth filter sheets for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, or with more open CP2KS filters type for effective prefiltration.
