Pharmaceutical Capsule Filters

Pharmaceutical Capsule Filters

Pharmaceutical capsule and pill filters are single-use, enclosed filtration systems engineered to protect product purity, sterility, and regulatory compliance throughout pharmaceutical manufacturing. Designed for high-purity liquid processing, these filters deliver consistent flow rates, low extractables and leachables, and reliable microbial retention, making them ideal for pharmaceuticals, biologics, and vaccine applications.

The capsule/pill format minimizes contamination risk by eliminating housing exposure, cleaning, and validation requirements, while supporting validated single-use systems from development through commercial production. A staged capsule filtration approach ensures optimal contaminant removal while protecting sensitive formulations and extending final membrane performance.

Filtration Stages & Recommended Micron Ratings

🧩 Pre-Filtration (Particulate Protection)
10 µm – 5 µm
Removes visible particulates and protects downstream filters during raw material handling and bulk solution processing.

🧪 Clarification / Bioburden Reduction
3 µm – 1 µm – 0.45 µm
Reduces fine particulates and microbial load prior to sterile filtration, improving process efficiency and membrane longevity.

🛡️ Final Sterile Filtration
0.22 µm (industry standard)
0.10 µm (enhanced microbial control when required)
Ensures bacterial retention and product sterility before aseptic filling or packaging.

🧬 Biologics & Vaccine Processing
0.45 µm → 0.22 µm staged filtration
Optimized for heat-sensitive and shear-sensitive products requiring gentle, high-integrity filtration.

Built for single-use and validated systems, pharmaceutical filtration solutions support GMP environments, minimize contamination risk, and deliver consistent, high-purity results—where precision, safety, and reliability are non-negotiable.
