GVS ABLUO Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters, 1.2 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - FJ13ANCCA012CH01PF
ISO quality system controls extend across GVS's own membrane casting and syringe filter assembly, both stages handled in-house. A syringe filter dispenses filtrate directly into an autosampler vial, without the intermediate collection vessel a bulk vacuum filtration setup typically needs. Cellulose acetate's native hydroxyl groups attract a thin water layer to the membrane surface while keeping filtrate clean ahead of analysis and admits water-based reagents immediately, with no surfactant step. The creep-resistant MBS matrix stays pressed firmly to the membrane and tolerates aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols during standard prep. When chromatographic methods demand particle-free injections, the column stays clean from run to run, protecting method performance and column life.
With no PFAS-bearing fluoropolymers anywhere in the flow path, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances stay clear of the sample from the inlet through to the collected filtrate. Validated PFAS-free under independent laboratory testing, the filter adds no measurable per- and polyfluoroalkyl background to the trace analytes a sensitive method works to quantify. Across regulated PFAS testing programs, the clean filtration background keeps reported results tied to the sample rather than to the labware used in the preparation workflow.
Membrane Characteristics
- BSA adsorption near 3.8 micrograms per square centimeter across the membrane
- Naturally hydrophilic surface wets readily with aqueous samples
- Lot-to-lot uniformity in pore distribution produces consistent retention across batches
- Tolerates methanol and ethanol at typical laboratory working concentrations
- No alcohol pre-wetting required before aqueous sample introduction
Housing Characteristics
- Optically clear MBS housing keeps the sample visible end to end
- Sub-wavelength core-shell rubber domains toughen the methacrylate matrix without introducing optical haze
- Luer-compatible MBS housing connects directly to standard syringe tips for hand-pressure filtration
- Dimensionally stable body maintains housing integrity under hand pressure
Juggling several filter types for one routine clarification eats up your bench time. Consistent aqueous clarification clears particulates without slowing your bench routine from the first sample of the day through the last.

- IC Sample Prep - CA membrane clarifies aqueous samples before IC injection, protecting guard columns and extending column life without analyte loss.
- Low-Volume Sample Prep - CA syringe filters process precious microliter samples with minimal hold-up volume, maximizing recovery of dilute analytes.
- Cell Culture Filtration - CA membrane clarifies conditioned media and aqueous culture supplements without stripping nutrients or growth factors.
- Protein Recovery - Maximizes yield of target proteins by minimizing nonspecific binding, preserving valuable biological samples.
- PCR Sample Prep - CA's very low non-specific binding ensures nucleic acids and buffer components pass through cleanly ahead of PCR amplification.
- Ophthalmic Formulation Prep - Low-extractable CA filters ophthalmic solutions ahead of quality testing and release without contributing contaminants.
