Stax™ DISPOSABLE DEPTH FILTERS, WITH SEITZ™ AKS ACTIVATED CARBON MEDIA

High efficiency in adsorption and design
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for decolorization and removal of other trace impurities. The use of bulk PAC has significant drawbacks relating to the handling of bulk carbon powder, cleaning of process equipment, and time (costs) associated with carbon removal from the process. Seitz AKS immobilized carbon media alleviates these concerns by incorporating activated carbon within a matrix of cellulosic fibers. This immobilized carbon media is then coupled with a downstream filter paper to prevent carbon particle shedding downstream of the filter. Additionally, the adsorption efficiency of Seitz AKS immobilized carbon filter media is greater than an equivalent amount of bulk PAC, further reducing overall process time and increasing product yield.
