GD/X 13mm Syringe Filter, Glass Microfiber GF/A Filteration Medium, 1.6um (150 pcs)
Whatman SKU: 6882-1316

Whatman GD/X Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters, 1.6 µm, 13 mm, 150/Pk - 6882-1316

Whatman's brand recognition and documented performance history support specification in standardized analytical methods. Under hand pressure from the syringe, the membrane captures particulates as the sample passes through. Inorganic glass fiber offers broad chemical compatibility for demanding samples while wetting rapidly with aqueous samples and holds structural integrity through conditioning cycles. Polypropylene construction maintains a low-dead-volume internal flow path while keeping the fluid path low in extractable contamination and maintains housing integrity through the filtration run. When sterile or particle-free preparation matters at the bench, the syringe filter delivers it with minimal added handling.

Technical Specifications

• Inorganic construction suits demanding sample-preparation chemistries
• Withstands high-temperature pre-conditioning up to 500°C
• Nominal depth retention with high dirt-loading capacity
• Naturally hydrophilic surface wets rapidly with aqueous samples
• Biologically inert borosilicate fiber with broad chemical compatibility

Housing Specifications

• Rigid polypropylene body holds its shape under manual filtration pressure
• Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
• Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
• Resists stress cracking from aqueous salt and buffer solutions

Reproducible separations start with samples that reach the column free of particulates. Upstream sample clarification keeps your separations clean and reproducible from sample preparation through final injection.
