Whatman GD/X Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters, 0.2 µm, 25 mm, 50/Pk - 6901-2502
Whatman's brand recognition and documented performance history support specification in standardized analytical methods. Syringe filters give the analyst a single-use device for clarifying samples right at the bench. Low-binding cellulose acetate preserves dilute proteins in the filtrate while delivering sterile-grade retention at sub-micron pore sizes and wets easily with aqueous buffers. Polypropylene construction maintains a low-dead-volume internal flow path and resists degradation from routine sample matrices. When chromatographic methods demand particle-free injections, point-of-use syringe filtration clarifies the sample before it reaches the column.
Technical Specifications
- Very low protein binding supports high recovery of dilute samples
- Sterile-grade retention at sub-micron pore sizes
- Stable with aqueous solutions, buffers, and alcohols across pH 4 to 8
- Naturally hydrophilic surface wets readily with aqueous samples
- Absolute pore-size rating gives consistent retention across protocols
Housing Specifications
- Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
- Low extractable contribution protects sensitive downstream analyses
- Resists aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols in routine sample prep
- Reliable housing-to-membrane seal prevents bypass at rated pressure
Sample clarification before injection is the cheapest insurance your chromatography system has. Pre-injection filtration protects the resolution your methods depend on across your chromatography methods.
