Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters - SF18274
Medium-volume biological samples with high particulate loads from environmental water matrices, cell culture supernatants, and tissue homogenates frequently cause premature membrane clogging, compromising analytical throughput and requiring multiple filter changes throughout processing workflows. Glass fiber prefilter technology eliminates premature clogging. Combined with gamma-sterilized 0.45µm cellulose acetate membrane, 4.08cm² filtration area, and 100µL holdup volume, ready-to-use construction delivers contamination-free clarification.
