Whatman
GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PTFE Filteration Medium, 0.2um (150 pcs) SKU: 6874-1302

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 13mm - 6874-1302

Designed for the stringent demands of cell culture and biological assays, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PTFE filtrationmedium, 0.2µm, 150/pk offers validated bacterial retention for confident sample preparation. To achieve this medical-grade standard, the filter utilizes a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane that provides a sharp 0.2 cutoff necessary for sterilizing biological fluids. Complementing the membrane's purity, the housing's thermal bonding eliminates the need for adhesives, removing a common source of extractable contamination. Meeting the needs of regulated environments, this series supports compliance with stringent purity protocols across pharmaceutical and environmental applications.

Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics

• Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with hydrophobic (requires pre-wetting) or hydrophilic (if treated) affinity
• Low Protein Binding characteristics
• Extreme chemical resistance to aggressive solvents, acids, and bases
• Hydrophobic version acts as an effective moisture barrier
• Verified 0.2 retention rating for clarification

Key Housing Characteristics

• High-purity Polypropylene encapsulation housing
• Luer-Lok/ Luer Slip for secure fitting
• 1.3cm² effective filtration area
• 500 µL holdup volume to minimize sample loss

By selecting a filter that matches the exact chemical nature of your samples, you ensure that your workflow remains uninterrupted by membrane failures. Trust in the consistent performance of your filtration step to remove the variables that often lead to costly re-runs and ambiguous data. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.

Hydrophobic

• Cryogenic Fluids - Remains functional and integral even at extreme temperatures, protecting sensitive equipment from damage
• Organic Mobile Phases - Ideal for filtering 100% organic solvents in HPLC and GC workflows without any membrane degradation
• Aggressive Solvent Filtration - PTFE is chemically inert, making it the only choice for filtering strong acids and bases
• Aerosol Sampling - The hydrophobic nature of PTFE allows for gas venting and air monitoring applications in harsh environments
• Research & Development - Supports protocols that need to filter contaminants, providing the ability to optimize sample clarity
• Analytical Sample Prep - Optimized to ensure data integrity by effectively filtering contaminants before instrumental analysis
