Whatman
Pura Disc 4 mm PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.2um, 500 Pk SKU: 6783-0402

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 4mm - 6783-0402

Ensuring the biological integrity of sensitive media begins with reliable filtration, and the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 4mm, Syringe Filter, 0.2µm, nonsterile 500/pk is engineered to deliver sterile effluents with every use. To achieve this medical-grade standard, the filter utilizes a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane that provides a sharp 0.2 cutoff necessary for sterilizing biological fluids. Designed to facilitate rapid processing, the housing features an optimized flow geometry that minimizes backpressure, allowing for easier manual filtration even with viscous samples. Ultimately, this rigorous attention to manufacturing quality ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility, allowing laboratories to standardize their workflows with total confidence.
