Whatman
GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PTFE Filteration Medium, 0.2um (1500 pcs) SKU: 6875-1302

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 13mm - 6875-1302

When sample purity is non-negotiable, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PTFE filtrationmedium, 0.2µm, 150/pk serves as a reliable safeguard, effectively removing microorganisms from aqueous solutions. Central to this performance is a hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with a precise 0.2 pore structure that ensures the complete removal of bacteria and fine particulates. Complementing the membrane's purity, the housing's thermal bonding eliminates the need for adhesives, removing a common source of extractable contamination. Ultimately, this rigorous attention to manufacturing quality ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility, allowing laboratories to standardize their workflows with total confidence.

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

When you integrate these filters into your daily standard operating procedures, you are choosing a workflow that prioritizes efficiency without compromising results. You invest significant resources into your samples; safeguarding them with a proven filtration barrier is a cost-effective insurance policy for your lab. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
