Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters - SF14496
Biological samples and aqueous solutions often contain particulates that interfere with analytical measurements or cause instrumentation fouling during routine laboratory workflows. The SF14496 addresses this challenge with a 0.45 µm cellulose acetate membrane that clarifies samples while minimizing protein binding compared to other hydrophilic materials. Your applications benefit from integrated glass fiber prefiltration that extends service life when processing moderately particulate samples, while this 33mm sterile configuration delivers 110 ml throughput capacity for high-volume processing in pharmaceutical testing, biotechnology research, and quality control laboratories.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 0.45 µm cellulose acetate membrane provides clarification with naturally hydrophilic surface chemistry for aqueous sample processing
- 4.6 cm² filtration area in the 33mm diameter configuration delivers 110 ml volume throughput for large-scale sample preparation
- 23.2 psi bubble point ensures membrane integrity, while the 80-170 µm thickness balances flow rate with mechanical strength
- Low protein-binding characteristics preserve biomolecule recovery during the filtration of proteins, enzymes, and biological extracts
- Integrated glass fiber prefilter captures coarse particles upstream to protect the primary membrane and extend operational life
Key Construction Characteristics
- Durable methacrylate butadiene styrene housing withstands operating pressures up to 87 psi for demanding applications
- 110 µL holdup volume balances the large membrane diameter with efficient sample recovery for your processing needs
- Dual luer-lok/luer slip inlet and outlet connections provide compatibility with standard syringes and automated dispensing systems
- Each filter arrives gamma-sterilized and individually packaged to maintain contamination-free conditions until use
Your clarification workflows gain efficiency from sterile-ready filters that eliminate preparation steps. The cellulose acetate membrane naturally resists protein adsorption while the glass fiber prefilter handles moderate particulate loads without compromising the primary membrane. This 33mm format processes larger sample volumes efficiently while maintaining the low protein binding that makes cellulose acetate ideal for biological solutions across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and environmental testing applications.
