Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters - SF14491
Small-volume pharmaceutical workflows face persistent challenges maintaining validated bacterial retention while processing samples containing moderate particulate loading that rapidly fouls single-membrane filters, creating operational bottlenecks in sterile testing. Standard filters lack prefiltration capacity for dirty samples. Gamma-sterilized cellulose acetate membrane technology with integrated polypropylene prefiltration resolves these limitations through ready-to-use multi-stage design. Technical specifications include validated 40.6psi bubble point ensuring 0.22µm bacterial retention, compact 13mm platform with 1.09cm² filtration area, and minimal 20µL holdup supporting 8ml flow rate with 10ml throughput capacity for reliable small-volume sterile processing.
Key Cellulose Acetate Membrane Characteristics
- Validated 0.22µm sterile-grade retention provides bacterial removal for pharmaceutical and biological applications where absolute contamination control throughout sample processing remains critical
- Gamma-sterilized ready-to-use platform eliminates preparation requirements and reduces contamination risks associated with handling nonsterile filters before critical sterile processing operations
- Integrated polypropylene prefilter captures gross particulates upstream of the sterile membrane, extending operational life and maintaining flow rates through moderately dirty samples
- Hydrophilic membrane architecture enables immediate aqueous sample processing without pre-wetting steps, eliminating preparation delays and accelerating workflow efficiency
- Aqueous-optimized compatibility maintains stable operation with water-based biological fluids and pharmaceutical buffers while incompatible with organic solvents, acids, and bases
Key Construction Characteristics
- Minimal 20µL holdup volume preserves valuable samples during 1-10ml processing where every microliter directly impacts analytical precision and experimental outcomes
- Compact 13mm platform provides space-efficient sterile filtration for small-volume applications with 8ml flow rate performance at 87psi maximum operating pressure
- Universal Luer-Lok/Luer Slip interface ensures compatibility with standard laboratory syringes, enabling rapid connections without specialized adapters or workflow interruptions
- Thermally stable polypropylene housing maintains reliable structural integrity up to 60°C maximum temperature for ambient and moderately elevated processing conditions
Built to support your small-volume sterile processing requirements where particulate loading compromises standard filters, gamma-sterilized prefiltration technology delivers operational excellence. Validated 40.6psi bubble point combined with prefiltration ensures bacterial retention confidence throughout pharmaceutical workflows. Ready-to-use gamma-sterilized construction with minimal holdup volume supports your laboratory operations requiring dependable yet economical sterile filtration of moderately dirty small-volume samples.
