Whatman
GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PVDF Filteration Medium, 0.45um (150 pcs) SKU: 6872-1304

Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 13mm - 6872-1304

Reducing background noise in analytical assays begins with proper clarification, and the Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Whatman GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PVDF filtrationmedium, 0.45µm, 150/pk is engineered to remove interfering solids efficiently. Facilitating rapid sample turnover, the hydrophobic Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) membrane structure ensures the 0.45 rating remains consistent even under pressure. Complementing the membrane's purity, the housing's thermal bonding eliminates the need for adhesives, removing a common source of extractable contamination. Consequently, by reducing the risk of downstream contamination, these filters serve as a critical safeguard for the integrity of your experimental results.
