The issues of effective cleaning and cleaning validation result in disposable equipment being the preferred option. For many processes, disposable filters can help eliminate cleaning problems, especially where biological products are to be filtered. In applications where hazardous materials are being filtered, such as cytotoxic drugs, capsule filters can play an important role in helping protect operators.

Kleenpak Nova capsule filters are designed to provide choice, cost-effectiveness and flexibility, while ensuring ease of use for the operator.

Designed to Provide Choice and Flexibility

Kleenpak Nova capsule filters are available with either in-line or T-style configurations.
The T-style configuration is ideal for manipulating multiple filters in series or parallel configuration.

Kleenpak Nova capsule filters incorporate either a 10 in. (254 mm), 20 in. (508 mm) or 30 in. (762 mm) length standard Pall cartridge filters which have traditionally been installed in stainless steel housings. In applications where a particular filter is already specified, the user can switch from a stainless steel housing to a fully disposable assembly with minimal requalification. This means the extensive range of cartridges currently available from Pall for clarification, bioburden reduction and prefiltration can easily be provided as a capsule filter. These include:

• PreFlow™ Filters

• Ultipor^® GF Plus Filters

• Profile^® Filters

Kleenpak Nova Filters Reduce Operating Costs

Kleenpak Nova filters have a typical installation cost that is 80% lower than a similar sized stainless steel housing system. Therefore, they offer an extremely cost-effective alternative to housing and cartridge systems. Kleenpak Nova filters can also provide further cost savings:

• No housing maintenance — Lower maintenance costs

• No housing cleaning or cleaning validation — Lower labor costs

• Filter is pre-assembled — Lower labor costs

• Filter can be provided pre-sterilized — Lower energy costs
