GVS ABLUO Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 13 mm, 50/Pk - FJ13ASCCA004FL01
GVS casts its own microporous membranes and assembles them into finished syringe filters under one roof, rather than sourcing either component externally. Many syringe filters ship with lot-specific quality documentation, giving analysts documented traceability beyond what an ad hoc bulk filtration setup typically provides. Cellulose acetate handles water-based samples and low-alcohol solutions while binding less protein than mixed cellulose ester of similar size and screens out particulates exceeding that stated micron level. MBS construction keeps the membrane and fluid path in view while coping reliably with routine aqueous sample matrices and absorbs handling stress at the bench. When method reproducibility rests on consistent sample prep, syringe filtration holds that standard injection after injection.
Membrane Characteristics
- BSA adsorption near 3.8 micrograms per square centimeter across the membrane
- Absolute-rated pores ensure the same particle cutoff every run
- Smooth membrane face with even pore distribution across the active filtration area
- Cellulose acetate's open pore structure supports high flow rates at low operating pressure
- Minimal non-specific adsorption of analytes at the membrane surface
Housing Characteristics
- Methacrylate surface hardness paired with butadiene impact strength
- Bisphenol-A-free composition keeps background signal out of trace-level BPA and endocrine-disruptor testing
- The housing keeps full contact with the membrane, so no sample passes around it
- Optically clear MBS housing keeps the sample visible end to end
Particulates in your buffers, reagents, and aqueous samples slow your preparation and throw off its consistency. General-purpose aqueous filtration supports the sample types you handle every day so you can standardize one filter across most aqueous methods. Standardize your filtration purchases across every method with volume pricing and documentation from the Tisch Scientific team.
