Whatman Puradisc Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters, 1 µm, 25 mm, 200/Pk - 6781-2510
Whatman's filtration expertise, refined across a century-plus of disciplined manufacturing, has made its name synonymous with laboratory-grade quality worldwide. Individually packaged and pre-tested, a syringe filter needs no functional check before use the way a shared reusable holder does. The PES membrane clarifies particulates at the rated pore size while needing a surface treatment before its polysulfone base wets and tolerates aliphatic alcohols, glycols, and aqueous buffers. The PP housing stays inert across common laboratory solvents and buffers in routine use and holds its geometry through sample filtration at temperatures up to 121°C. When method reproducibility rests on consistent sample prep, syringe filtration holds that standard injection after injection.
Technical Specifications
- Non-ionic surface avoids charge-driven protein binding of positively and negatively charged membrane types
- Sulfone backbone's hydrolytic stability tolerates repeated autoclave steam sterilization cycles
- PFAS extractables test non-detectable under EPA Method 537.1
- Non-hydrogen-bonding surface avoids the polar adsorption nylon's amide backbone causes
- Chemical breadth spans alcohols, glycols, and aqueous buffers
Housing Specifications
- Polypropylene density near 0.90 g/cm3 keeps housing weight low relative to denser engineering plastics
- Inert polyolefin wall contributes minimal sample adsorption to the filtrate
- Minimal extractable release from the housing supports sensitive analytical work downstream
- Burst pressure rating provides a wide safety margin above the rated maximum operating pressure.
Filtering buffers, reagents, and aqueous samples keeps your preparation moving and consistent. General-purpose aqueous filtration supports the sample types you handle every day so you can standardize one filter across most aqueous methods.
