RD65 Series Capsule Filters
The RD65 Series capsules were designed for venting, gas filtration and pump protection applications in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage, medical, chemical and water industries. They are specifically suitable for disposable bio-bag venting applications to allow gas to escape the bag while providing a sterile barrier.
The RD65 capsules have a compact design that was developed to fit standard biocontainers, tools and applications in the pharmaceutical industry. The different possible materials of construction provide excellent compatibility with a wide-range of applications. No adhesives or surfactants are used in the manufacturing process. All units are thermally-sealed and 100% integrity tested.

Sterilization Methods: Polyethylene and Gamma stabilized PP shell capsules can be gamma sterilized up to 45kGy. Polypropylene shell capsules can be autoclaved 2 times at 257°F/125°C for 30 minutes or chemically sanitized in situ using common sanitizing agents or hot water at 194°F/90°C for a limited time (dependent on time and temperature). Capsules must not be in situ steam-sterilized. Polyethylene shell capsules can not be autoclaved.
Regulatory Compliance: The discs are manufactured from materials that conform to the requirements of 21CFR Part 177 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. Medias and Membranes are also in compliance with the USP Class VI Biological Test for Plastics.
Bacterial Endotoxin: Effluent is non-pyrogenic per USP Bacterial Endotoxin (0.25 EU/ml), determined using Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Test.
