Whatman Puradisc Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters, 1 µm, 25 mm, 50/Pk - 6780-2510
Whatman has built such a strong track record in published methods that laboratories default to citing its name in standardized protocols. Many syringe filters ship with lot-specific quality documentation, giving analysts traceability that an ad hoc bulk filtration setup typically lacks. The PES membrane loads aqueous buffers with zero pre-wetting delay while relying on modified, not native, surface chemistry and handles strong bases across a broad aqueous range. Polyolefin construction sheds virtually no extractable material into the sample while resisting degradation from routine sample matrices and sustains efficient flow on viscous samples. When method reproducibility rests on consistent sample prep, syringe filtration holds that standard injection after injection.
Technical Specifications
- High flow rate pairs with a low extractable background
- Pore structure integrity holds through autoclave cycles up to 126°C
- Non-hydrogen-bonding surface avoids the polar adsorption nylon's amide backbone causes
- Aromatic sulfone backbone underlies stability across the full pH range
- Antibody and protein samples pass through PES with minimal adsorptive loss
Housing Specifications
- Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
- Rigid polypropylene body maintains its geometry through routine filtration pressure
- Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
- The seal formed against the membrane blocks bypass at rated operating pressure
