LabExact Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 25 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10090
A sterilizing-grade syringe filter delivers point-of-use sterile filtration in a single-use format, without the housing and gasket maintenance a reusable stainless steel filter holder requires. The cellulose acetate membrane takes up aqueous buffers on contact and stays stable across pH 4 to 8. Polypropylene housing is factory-sterilized and packaged to preserve that state until use while pressing snugly against the membrane during the pass and sheds virtually no extractable material into the sample. For workflows requiring validated sterile-grade performance, point-of-use retention meets it without a separate sterilization step.
Membrane Characteristics
- Stable in aqueous saline, buffer, and protein solution matrices
- No alcohol pre-wetting required before aqueous sample introduction
- Naturally hydrophilic surface wets readily with aqueous samples
- Minimal non-specific adsorption of analytes at the membrane surface
- Rated pore sizes of 0.22 micron and below block bacteria reliably
Housing Characteristics
- Withstands ethylene oxide gas sterilization without embrittlement or structural damage
- Polypropylene housing withstands rated backpressure from dense sample matrices without deformation
- Minimal ionic background from the polypropylene housing supports ion chromatography and trace-metal ICP-MS sample preparation
- Withstands standard 121°C steam autoclave cycles without softening or structural distortion
An unfiltered buffer can foul your instrument and interrupt a run mid-sequence. Reliable particulate removal protects your instruments and your data before each HPLC, UHPLC, and dissolution run.
