GVS ABLUO Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters, 5 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - FJ13ANCCA050PH01PF
Every GVS syringe filter and membrane batch generates its own manufacturing record, filed inside the company's quality management system per policy. A syringe filter's small hold-up volume limits sample loss, a meaningful difference when working with a limited or precious sample. The cellulose acetate membrane takes up aqueous buffers on contact while stripping fine particulates above its designated micron threshold and binds less protein than mixed cellulose ester of similar size. MBS construction keeps the membrane and fluid path in view while withstanding aqueous samples and buffers during routine prep work and combines surface hardness with impact strength. Where bench-scale prep must move quickly from one sample to the next, each sample starts as clean as the last without a carry-over risk or a cleaning step between uses.
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. Carrying independent third-party PFAS-free validation, the device shields low-level per- and polyfluoroalkyl determinations from the background contamination an ordinary filter can contribute during routine sample filtration. 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
- Biologically nontoxic cellulose ester provides a clean filtration surface
- Stable in aqueous saline, buffer, and protein solution matrices
- Native surface hydroxyl groups sustain a hydration layer ahead of protein contact
- Smooth membrane face with even pore distribution across the active filtration area
- Low extractable contribution keeps filtrate chemistry clean
Housing Characteristics
- Optically clear MBS housing keeps the sample visible end to end
- Handles aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols without issue during sample prep
- Luer-compatible MBS housing connects directly to standard syringe tips for hand-pressure filtration
- Sub-wavelength core-shell rubber domains toughen the methacrylate matrix without introducing optical haze
