Acetal Copolymer Swinney Filter Holder, 13mm, Female Luer Lock, Nonsterile, 5/Pk
GVS SKU: 1220950

Featuring a rugged Celcon acetal copolymer body that accepts standard 13mm membrane discs, this Swinney filter holder is optimized for small volume (1 to 5 mL) particulate removal from fluids dispensed with a syringe. The unit provides a 0.8 cm2 filtration area and accepts a 10mm prefilter cap. An exterior locking ring and inlet cap design seal the membrane by simple hand tightening, locking the inlet cap into the base to prevent twisting damage while permitting bi-directional sample flow. The holder is broadly resistant to alcohols, esters, ethers, glycols, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones, oils, photoresists and many other chemicals.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Inlet and outlet housing and support screen molded from Celcon acetal copolymer, with a PTFE seal washer for reliable sealing
• Female Luer Lock inlet connection for quick, secure attachment to a syringe
• Accepts 13mm membrane filter discs with a 0.8 cm2 effective filtration area and a 10mm prefilter cap size
• Approximate dimensions of 16mm (0.6 in) diameter by 35mm (1.4 in) height
• Supplied nonsterile, 5 holders per pack

Key Performance Characteristics

• Rated to a maximum liquid temperature of 80°C (176°F)
• Withstands a differential pressure up to 2.8 bar (40 psi)
• Autoclavable for 15 minutes at 121°C (250°F) and 15 psi
• Suitable for most weak acids and bases (compatibility testing with acids is recommended)

The locking ring seals each membrane without tearing or twisting, maintaining sample integrity across repeated small-volume filtrations. Bi-directional flow capability supports both forward filtration and back-flushing while protecting the membrane. With broad chemical compatibility and autoclavability, the holder delivers consistent, leak-resistant performance for biofluids, ophthalmics, lubricants and chromatography sample preparation.
