Whatman GD/X Cellulose Acetate (CA) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 25 mm, 50/Pk - 6901-2504
Whatman applies the same process controls across its filtration portfolio, verifying rated performance at the production lot level. 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 drawing aqueous samples through readily and stays smooth with low extractable background. Polypropylene construction holds extractable contribution low for sensitive analyses and stays inert across common laboratory solvents. When chromatographic methods demand particle-free injections, point-of-use syringe filtration clarifies the sample before it reaches the column.
Technical Specifications
- Stable with aqueous solutions, buffers, and alcohols across pH 4 to 8
- Smooth surface with low extractables and a uniform pore structure
- Naturally hydrophilic surface wets readily with aqueous samples
- Absolute pore-size rating gives consistent retention across protocols
- Very low protein binding supports high recovery of dilute samples
Housing Specifications
- Reliable housing-to-membrane seal prevents bypass at rated pressure
- Tough polypropylene body tolerates repeated handling at the bench
- Medical-grade polypropylene with broad chemical compatibility
- Low extractable contribution protects sensitive downstream analyses
Upstream clarification pays for itself by keeping your columns clear and your analytical day on schedule. Pre-injection filtration protects the resolution your methods depend on by clearing particulates ahead of the column and frits.
