Whatman
GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PTFE Filteration Medium, 0.45um (1500 pcs) SKU: 6875-1304

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 13mm - 6875-1304

For researchers requiring consistent baselines in HPLC and dissolution testing, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, PTFE filtrationmedium, 0.45µm, 150/pk offers a robust solution for extending instrument life. Facilitating rapid sample turnover, the hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) 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.

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 0.45 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.

• 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
• Cryogenic Fluids - Remains functional and integral even at extreme temperatures, protecting sensitive equipment from damage
• General Laboratory Filtration - Increases workflow efficiency by protecting analytical instruments without sacrificing flow rates
• Analytical Sample Prep - Optimized to ensure data integrity by effectively removing particulates before instrumental analysis
