- Low protein binding characteristics preserve biomolecule concentrations throughout filtration, maintaining sample integrity for downstream analysis
- 0.22µm pore size delivers bacterial retention and sterile-grade filtration for cell culture media and biological sample preparation
- Withstands aqueous solutions and maintains compatibility with protein samples while requiring protection from organic solvents
- 80-170µm membrane thickness balances mechanical strength with efficient flow rates for routine laboratory applications
Key Construction Characteristics
- 1µL holdup volume maximizes sample recovery in micro-volume applications where every microliter matters
- Polypropylene housing rated to 87psi burst pressure and 60°C operating temperature provides durability for routine processing
- Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet ensures secure syringe connection while facilitating sample collection
- 0.125cm² filtration area with polypropylene prefilter extends membrane life by removing particulates before final filtration
When your micro-volume samples require sterile-grade bacterial retention without protein losses, cellulose acetate technology delivers reliable processing. Validated 40.6psi bubble point combined with cellulose acetate construction ensures consistent membrane integrity and bacterial removal capability.
