Featuring a naturally hydrophilic cellulose acetate (CA) membrane with a 0.8um pore size, these 13mm syringe filters deliver fast, low-adsorption clarification of aqueous and organic solutions. The membrane is mounted in an ultrasonically welded acrylic housing with an 18mm housing diameter, providing a reliable filter fit that eliminates potential bypass. Each filter is individually labeled with its membrane material and pore size, and the green color coding identifies the 0.8um CA grade at a glance. Supplied nonsterile in a pack of 500.
Key Cellulose Acetate Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic structure wets out readily without added wetting agents.
- Low nonspecific binding and low adsorption help preserve protein and analyte recovery.
- Uniform pore structure supports consistent, reproducible filtration.
- Thermally stable with chemical resistance to a wide variety of solvents.
- Well suited to aqueous and alcohol solutions where sample recovery matters.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Ultrasonically welded acrylic housing, 18mm housing diameter, with a 13mm membrane.
- Female Luer Lock inlet and Male Luer Slip outlet for broad syringe compatibility.
- Effective filtration area of 0.76 cm2 with a holdup volume under 50 microliters.
- Maximum operating temperature of 50C and maximum operating pressure of 80 psi.
- Nonsterile, color coded green, packaged 500 per box.
The bidirectionally supported membrane allows both sample injection and aspiration while maintaining sample integrity. With low holdup volume and a high effective filtration area, these filters minimize sample loss and speed routine sample preparation. Integrity testing on each unit helps ensure dependable, repeatable performance run after run.
