Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters - SF18200

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories require gamma-sterilized filtration devices for coarse prefiltration applications where contamination-free processing and immediate use eliminate preparation delays in critical production workflows. Advanced 5.0µm cellulose acetate membrane technology removes gross particulates while maintaining low protein binding characteristics throughout processing. Sterile construction with 1.09cm² filtration area, polypropylene prefilter integration, and 20µL holdup volume enables ready-to-use coarse filtration for small-volume biological samples.

Key Cellulose Acetate Membrane Characteristics

• 5.0µm pore size removes gross particulates and large debris from biological samples, protecting downstream filtration steps and analytical equipment
• Hydrophilic cellulose acetate surface provides immediate aqueous sample compatibility, eliminating pre-wetting requirements and accelerating workflow efficiency
• Low protein binding affinity maintains concentration throughout filtration, preserving biomolecule integrity for sensitive biological applications
• Maintains compatibility with aqueous biological solutions and buffer systems while requiring protection from harsh organic solvents
• 80-170µm membrane thickness provides mechanical robustness for consistent coarse prefiltration performance across diverse sample matrices

Key Construction Characteristics

• 20µL holdup volume optimizes yield in small-volume applications where sample recovery directly impacts analytical accuracy
• Polypropylene housing withstands operating pressures to 87psi and temperatures to 60°C, accommodating diverse laboratory processing conditions
• Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet provides secure syringe connection and facilitates efficient sample collection
• 1.09cm² filtration area with integrated polypropylene prefilter captures high particulate loads before membrane contact, extending operational efficiency

When your small-volume samples require contamination-free coarse prefiltration without preparation delays, gamma-sterilized cellulose acetate technology delivers immediate processing capability. Validated 1.45psi bubble point combined with low protein binding membrane construction ensures reliable gross particle removal without biomolecule losses.
