Whatman
Pura Disc 4 mm PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 500 Pk SKU: 6783-0404

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 4mm - 6783-0404

Reducing background noise in analytical assays begins with proper clarification, and the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 4mm, Syringe Filter, 0.45µm, nonsterile 500/pk is engineered to remove interfering solids efficiently. To ensure analytical precision, the unit is constructed with a high-grade Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane providing a consistent 0.45 cutoff that passes only your target analyte. 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.

Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics

• Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with hydrophobic (requires pre-wetting) or hydrophilic (if treated) affinity
• Low Protein Binding characteristics
• Extreme chemical resistance to aggressive solvents, acids, and bases
• Hydrophobic version acts as an effective moisture barrier
• Verified 0.45 retention rating for clarification

Key Housing Characteristics

• High-purity Polypropylene encapsulation housing
• Luer-Lok/ Luer Slip for secure fitting
• 0.2cm² effective filtration area
• <10µl holdup volume to minimize sample loss

Your laboratory throughput depends on reliable consumables, and these filters are designed to keep your sequences running smoothly, sample after sample. You invest significant resources into your samples; safeguarding them with a proven filtration barrier is a cost-effective insurance policy for your lab. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.

• Organic Mobile Phases - Ideal for filtering 100% organic solvents in HPLC and GC workflows without any membrane degradation
• Cryogenic Fluids - Remains functional and integral even at extreme temperatures, protecting sensitive equipment from damage
• Aerosol Sampling - The hydrophobic nature of PTFE allows for gas venting and air monitoring applications in harsh environments
• Aggressive Solvent Filtration - PTFE is chemically inert, making it the only choice for filtering strong acids and bases
• Quality Control Testing - Optimized for delivering reproducible results by removing particulates in standard pharmaceutical protocols
• General Laboratory Filtration - Increases workflow efficiency by protecting analytical instruments without sacrificing flow rates
