Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.1µm, 13mm - 6784-1301
Eliminate the risk of microbial contamination in your upstream workflows with the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 13mm, Syringe Filter, 0.1µm, nonsterile 100/pk, optimized for sterile filtration protocols. Driving this efficiency is the integration of a hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, ensuring high recovery of sensitive samples while maintaining a sterile effluent. Designed to facilitate rapid processing, the housing features an optimized flow geometry that minimizes backpressure, allowing for easier manual filtration even with viscous samples. Meeting the needs of regulated environments, this series supports compliance with stringent purity protocols across pharmaceutical and environmental applications.
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
- 0.1 rating suitable for sterile filtration
Key Housing Characteristics
- High-purity Polypropylene encapsulation housing
- Luer-Lok/ Luer Slip for secure fitting
- 1.3cm² effective filtration area
- <25µl holdup volume to minimize sample loss
You can streamline your sample preparation process significantly by adopting a filtration solution designed to handle your specific volume requirements. 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.
