When it comes to achieving high-purity results in industries like biopharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, and water treatment, filtration is more than a process step—it’s a safeguard for quality and compliance. Among the many filtration technologies available today, depth filters stand out for their ability to capture particles within the filter matrix, ensuring thorough and efficient removal of contaminants.
In Australia, industries are increasingly turning to depth filters for applications that demand both reliability and cost efficiency. At CoPure, we supply premium depth filters such as the Claricap M02 Depth Filter Capsule, designed to meet stringent performance standards.
What Are Depth Filters?
Unlike surface filters, which retain particles only on their outer layer, depth filters trap contaminants throughout the entire thickness of the filter media. This unique mechanism significantly enhances particle retention capacity, making depth filters ideal for applications involving high particulate loads.
The key features of depth filters include:
Gradient pore structure – Larger pores on the surface capture coarse particles, while smaller pores deeper in the filter retain fine particles.
Three-dimensional matrix – Provides higher dirt-holding capacity compared to surface filters.
Versatile media options – Cellulose fibers, diatomaceous earth, and resin blends improve efficiency and adsorption.
Spotlight: Claricap M02 Depth Filter Capsule
One of the standout products in CoPure’s filtration portfolio is the Claricap M02 Depth Filter Capsule, a compact solution engineered for high-purity lab and pilot-scale processes.
Key Specifications:
Filtration Area: 23 cm²
Materials: Diatomaceous earth, cellulose, and synthetic resin media within a polypropylene housing
Operating Pressure: Up to 50 psi (3.5 bar) at ≤40°C
Sterilisation: Compatible with 2 autoclave cycles (60 minutes at 123°C)
Biological Safety: Compliant with USP <87>, USP <88> Class VI, and FDA 21 CFR standards
Bacterial Endotoxins: < 0.25 EU/mL
These specifications highlight the capsule’s suitability for sensitive industries, such as biopharmaceuticals and food processing, where regulatory compliance and purity are crucial.
The Science Behind Claricap M02
The Claricap M02 integrates advanced materials and structural design for superior performance:
Three-Dimensional Cellulose Matrix
Interwoven fibers form a gradient structure, reducing particle flow and maximising retention efficiency.
Diatomaceous Earth Advantage
With its naturally porous structure, diatomaceous earth enhances adsorption and improves permeability, allowing faster flow rates without compromising clarity.
Synthetic Resin Additives
These increase wet strength and impart an electrostatic charge, enabling the filter to capture not just particles but also colloids and charged impurities.
High Purity Materials
The use of high-purity cellulose minimises ionic extractables and endotoxins, making it an excellent choice for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
Applications of Depth Filters in Australia
Depth filters like the Claricap M02 are widely used across industries that require consistent and reliable filtration:
Biopharmaceuticals – For cell culture clarification, removal of host cell proteins, and prefiltration before sterile filtration.
Food and Beverage – To ensure microbiological stability in wine, beer, juices, and dairy processing.
Water Treatment – For removal of fine sediments, organic matter, and microorganisms.
Chemical Processing – To clarify intermediates, solvents, and specialty chemicals.
Laboratory Testing – Ideal for small-scale trials, pilot runs, and analytical sample preparation.
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global depth filtration market is projected to grow from USD 2.5 billion in 2024 to USD 3.5 billion by 2029, with rising demand in biopharma and food safety driving this expansion. Australian industries are part of this growth, increasingly adopting depth filters to meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations.
Advantages of Depth Filters
