Mustang Q XT series reusable chromatography capsules

Designed to provide flexibility and high performance, Mustang Q XT series reusable chromatography capsules help process development engineers reduce purification time, increase throughput, and cut buffer consumption costs in ion exchange applications. They are available in 5-mL, 140-mL and 5-L sizes, and units can be linked in parallel or in series to increase processing capabilities. Each capsule has 16 layers of the Mustang Q membrane. XT140 and XT5000 capsules use the manufacturer’s patented Ultipleat high-density pleating technology to maximize membrane volume without increasing the device’s small footprint. A highly durable polypropylene housing incorporates a chemically resistant polyethersulfone membrane, which provides the stability needed for cleaning and reuse and for long-term storage. Unlike beaded sorbents, the dynamic binding capacity of a Mustang membrane is independent of its flowrate, so performance can be maintained over a wide range of flowrates and molecular sizes. This makes the capsules useful in high-flowrate contaminant-removal applications and in the capture or removal of large molecules.
