Pura Disc 4 mm PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 100/Pk SKU: 6784-0404

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 4mm - 6784-0404

In high-throughput analytical laboratories, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 4mm, Syringe Filter, 0.45µm, nonsterile, 100/pk series establishes a standard for effective particulate removal and sample clarification. 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. Encasing this critical media is a high-purity polypropylene housing that prevents sample bypass and ensures that every microliter is processed with high fidelity. Consequently, by reducing the risk of downstream contamination, these filters serve as a critical safeguard for the integrity of your experimental results.

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

When you integrate these filters into your daily standard operating procedures, you are choosing a workflow that prioritizes efficiency without compromising results. Trust in the consistent performance of your filtration step to remove the variables that often lead to costly re-runs and ambiguous data. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

Hydrophobic

• Aggressive Solvent Filtration - PTFE is chemically inert, making it the only choice for filtering strong acids and bases
• 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
• Organic Mobile Phases - Ideal for filtering 100% organic solvents in HPLC and GC workflows without any membrane degradation
• General Laboratory Filtration - Increases workflow efficiency by protecting analytical instruments without sacrificing flow rates
• Biological Fluid Analysis - Protects sensitive downstream instruments from removing particulates that can cause system failure
