Whatman Puradisc Nylon Syringe Filters, 0.2 µm, 25 mm, 200/Pk - 6751-2502
Whatman maintains in-house specialists who set and verify material specifications separately for its cellulose, glass-fiber, and polymer membrane chemistries, tailoring quality control to how each one behaves in use. A sterilizing-grade syringe filter delivers point-of-use sterile filtration in a single-use format, without the housing and gasket maintenance a reusable stainless steel filter holder requires. Naturally hydrophilic nylon accepts water-based samples without surfactant preconditioning and ships in economical bulk non-sterile packaging. Polyolefin construction sheds virtually no extractable material into the sample and maintains a low-dead-volume internal flow path. Where bacterial contamination must stay out of the sample, manufacturer-tested retention keeps the instrument and downstream assay protected without a housing to maintain or clean.
Membrane Characteristics
- Synthetic polyamide backbone resists microbial and enzymatic degradation unlike cellulose membranes
- DMSO compatibility extends across sample-preparation chemistries
- Non-fibrous membrane structure resists media shedding into the filtrate
- Saturation moisture uptake reaches up to 8% by resin weight
- Common ketone solvents, including acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone, cause no attack
Housing Characteristics
- Impact-tolerant polypropylene body withstands routine bench handling without damage
- Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
- Minimal ionic background from the polypropylene housing supports ion chromatography and trace-metal ICP-MS sample preparation.
- Minimal intrinsic autofluorescence from the polypropylene housing supports background-sensitive fluorescence-based assay work downstream.
A clean particulate separation keeps your aqueous sample preparation dependable. General-purpose aqueous filtration supports the sample types you handle every day from reagent and buffer preparation through routine sample clarification. Ask our friendly customer service team to confirm the pore size, membrane, and sterility options your filtration application calls for.
