Function
The stainless steel filter housing can be equipped with filter cassettes of different pore
sizes, for example 0.2 μm for sterile filtering and 3 µm for particle removal. The housing
can be used in the full system pressure range, up to 2 MPa.
The ULTA Capsule CG filter is mounted using an ULTA CG filter mounting kit, available
from GE. This mounting kit is designed for ULTA Capsule CG filters. The pressure limit for
these filters is 0.5 MPa, see the ÄKTA pilot 600 Operating Instructions for how to set system
pressure limits.
A small pore size will increase the back pressure and the system pressure.
Note:
Air in filter
For instructions on how to fill the filter, see the ÄKTA pilot 600 Operating Instructions. If
there is air inside the filter, the filter area is reduced. To remove any remaining air,
carefully tilt the filter and tap on it.
