GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PVDF Filteration Medium, 0.2um (150 pcs) SKU: 6872-1302

Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 13mm - 6872-1302

Ensuring the biological integrity of sensitive media begins with reliable filtration, and the Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Whatman GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PVDF filtrationmedium, 0.2µm, 150/pk is engineered to deliver sterile effluents with every use. To achieve this medical-grade standard, the filter utilizes a Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) membrane that provides a sharp 0.2 cutoff necessary for sterilizing biological fluids. Encasing this critical media is a high-purity polypropylene housing that prevents sample bypass and ensures that every microliter is processed with high fidelity. Consequently, by reducing the risk of downstream contamination, these filters serve as a critical safeguard for the integrity of your experimental results.
