Featuring a naturally hydrophilic cellulose acetate (CA) membrane with a 0.22um pore size, these 13mm syringe filters deliver low protein binding and clean, reliable clarification of aqueous and biological samples. Each unit is built into an 18mm ultrasonically welded acrylic housing with Female Luer Lock inlet and Male Luer Lock outlet connections, supplied nonsterile in a pack of 500. The blue housing color provides quick visual identification of the membrane type and pore size at the bench.
Key Cellulose Acetate Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic cellulose acetate membrane wets out readily with aqueous solutions.
- Low protein binding helps preserve sample integrity and maximize analyte recovery.
- 0.22um pore size removes fine particulates and microorganisms from solutions.
- Well suited to filtration of aqueous, buffer, and biological fluid samples.
- Each filter is labeled with the specific membrane material and pore size for easy identification.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Ultrasonically welded acrylic housing, 18mm housing diameter, with a 13mm membrane.
- Female Luer Lock inlet and Male Luer Lock outlet (Luer-Lok/Luer Lok) connections.
- Effective filtration area of 0.76 cm squared with a low hold-up volume flow channel.
- Withstands operating pressure up to 5 bar (approximately 75 psi).
- Nonsterile, supplied 500 per pack.
The integrity-tested weld eliminates potential filter bypass, providing consistent and dependable filtration. The low hold-up volume design reduces sample loss, helping protect costly or limited-volume samples. Together these features support repeatable sample preparation and reliable downstream analysis.
