Featuring a naturally hydrophilic cellulose acetate membrane, these 25mm syringe filters deliver rapid filtration of aqueous and organic solutions with a 5.0um pore size suited to coarse clarification and particulate removal. The membrane is housed in an ultrasonically welded acrylic housing, color-coded brown for fast pore size identification, and configured with a female Luer lock inlet and male Luer lock outlet for secure, leak-resistant connections. The improved flow channel design reduces hold-up volume, helping recover more of small or costly samples.
Key Cellulose Acetate Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic: wets out readily with aqueous samples for consistent flow without pretreatment.
- Low protein binding: minimizes adsorption of proteins and other analytes to protect sample integrity.
- 5.0um pore size: targets coarse clarification and removal of larger particulates ahead of analysis.
- Broad sample suitability: handles aqueous and organic solutions, biological fluids, buffers, and protein solutions.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Housing: ultrasonically welded acrylic, integrity tested to eliminate potential filter bypass.
- Connection: Luer-Lok inlet and Luer Lok outlet for secure syringe attachment.
- Membrane diameter: 25mm, color-coded brown for easy identification when out of original packaging.
- Sterility: nonsterile.
- Pack: 500 filters per pack.
This filter provides reliable, reproducible sample preparation while protecting downstream instruments and columns from particulate fouling. The low protein binding membrane and low hold-up volume help maintain sample integrity and maximize recovery. Each device is integrity tested to ensure a proper fit and weld for dependable performance.
