Pall BYY005P6 Mini Profile Capsule Filter (Profile II Media, 0.5 µm)

The Pall BYY005P6 is a high-efficiency Mini Profile™ capsule filter designed for small-batch clarification, scale-up evaluation, and the removal of fine particulates and gels. Featuring Profile II absolute-rated depth media, this filter utilizes a tapered pore structure that provides a gradient density matrix, ensuring long service life and high dirt-holding capacity. With a 0.5 µm removal rating and a 45 cm² effective filtration area, the BYY005P6 is an essential tool for the clarification of biological products, viscous reagents, and fine chemical suspensions. The self-venting, all-polypropylene housing ensures broad chemical compatibility and low extractables, while the 1/2-inch hose barb connections facilitate easy integration into flexible tubing assemblies.

Technical Performance and Design

• Profile II Graded Density Media: The depth filter structure features pores that narrow toward the downstream section, effectively acting as multiple stages of filtration in a single pass to maximize throughput before clogging.

• Absolute-Rated Reliability: Engineered for 99.98% efficiency (Beta 5000), providing the high-level security required for critical clarification steps where consistent filtrate quality is paramount.

• High Gel Removal Efficiency: The thick depth matrix is specifically optimized to trap deformable particles and gels that often bypass standard pleated or membrane filters.

• Low Hold-Up Volume: The Mini Profile capsule design is engineered to minimize dead space, ensuring maximum recovery of expensive biological fluids or rare samples.
