Featuring a naturally hydrophilic cellulose acetate membrane with a 0.22um pore size, these sterile syringe filters deliver fast, efficient clarification and sterile filtration of aqueous and alcohol-based solutions. The 25mm membrane is supported bidirectionally within a modified 33mm acrylic housing, providing reliable performance across a 4.6 cm2 effective filtration area while maintaining a low holdup volume of less than 100 microliters. Each unit features Luer-Lok inlet and outlet connections for secure, leak-resistant attachment, and arrives in a convenient pack of 50.
Key Cellulose Acetate Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic structure wets readily with aqueous solutions, requiring no prewetting
- Low protein binding makes it well suited to biological fluids and protein-containing samples
- 0.22um pore size provides sterilizing-grade retention for microbiological and tissue culture work
- Broad compatibility with aqueous and alcohol-based solutions
- Each filter labeled with the specific membrane material and pore size for easy identification
Key Construction Characteristics
- Modified acrylic housing supports the membrane bidirectionally and withstands up to 80 psi maximum operating pressure
- Luer-Lok inlet and Luer-Lok outlet connections for secure fluid handling
- Supplied sterile, with integrity-tested ultrasonic welds to eliminate potential filter bypass
- Maximum operating temperature of 50 degrees C (122 degrees F)
- Low holdup volume of less than 100 microliters across a 4.6 cm2 filtration area, packaged 50 per pack
This filter delivers consistent, reproducible filtration while protecting sample integrity. The hydrophilic cellulose acetate membrane minimizes analyte loss through low protein binding, and the integrity-tested housing maintains a secure seal throughout the filtration process. The result is clean, particle-free filtrate suited to demanding analytical and microbiological workflows.
