Pall BYY010P6 Mini Profile Capsule Filter (Profile II Media, 1 µm) The Pall BYY010P6 is a high-performance Mini Profile™ capsule filter engineered for small-volume production, scale-up evaluation, and the clarification of biological and chemical products. Featuring Profile II absolute-rated depth filter media, this capsule utilizes a continuously graded pore structure that provides built-in prefiltration and an exceptionally long service life. The all-polypropylene construction ensures broad chemical compatibility and low extractables, making it ideal for processing viscous slurries, gels, and fine particulate suspensions. Its self-venting, compact design minimizes hold-up volume and simplifies integration into laboratory and pilot-scale workflows. Technical Performance and Design Profile II Depth Technology: Features a tapered pore structure that narrows toward the inner section, providing high capacity for solids and gels while ensuring absolute-rated retention of fine particles at the 1 µm level. Absolute Removal Rating: Calibrated for 99.98% efficiency (Beta 5000), providing the reliability required for critical clarification steps where consistent filtrate quality is non-negotiable. High Hold-Up Recovery: The Mini Profile capsule format is optimized to minimize fluid loss, a critical feature when processing high-value biologicals or small batch sizes. Robust Materials: Constructed with a polypropylene housing and acetal hose barb adapters, providing a sturdy, leak-resistant assembly capable of withstanding standard laboratory operating pressures. Product Specifications Catalog Number: BYY010P6 Filter Media: Profile II (Polypropylene Depth) Pore Size (Absolute): 1 µm Effective Filtration Area (EFA): 46 cm² Connections: 1/2 in. (13 mm) Single Hose Barb (Inlet/Outlet) Max Operating Pressure: 4.1 bar (60 psi) @ 30°C; 3.4 bar (50 psi) @ 50°C Sterility: Non-Sterile (Autoclavable up to 125°C for 3 x 30 mins) Dimensions: Approx. 7.7 cm length x 8.5 cm diameter Key Benefits & Applications Biological Clarification: Ideal for removing cellular debris, aggregates, and large particles from small-volume fermentation harvests or protein solutions. Inkjet & Chemical Processing: Widely used in the filtration of inks, photochemicals, and viscous slurries where gel removal and long filter life are essential. Scale-Up Evaluation: The Mini Profile format allows for accurate performance prediction when transitioning to larger Profile II filter cartridges in full-scale production. Ease of Use: The self-venting design prevents air binding, ensuring the entire 46 cm² surface area is utilized from the start of the filtration cycle.
