GVS Capsflow PES CIK Series

CIK series - Asymmetrical PES membrane General Application Capsule Filters

Capsflow CIK series is family of full size capsule filters with Staubli connection at the vent, which enables in-line integrity test.
The PES membrane capsule utilizes single layer hydrophilic polyethersulfone membrane. lt offers broad chemical compatibility, high flow rate and low extractable.
Polyethersulfone is particularly suited for the filtration of products that contain substances that adsorb to the media. The lower binding characteristics of polyethersulfone make it a good choice for filtration of valuable protein solutions such as vaccines and biologicals
