Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 5.0µm, 13mm - 6784-1350
For researchers requiring consistent baselines in HPLC and dissolution testing, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 13mm, Syringe Filter, 5.0µm, nonsterile 100/pk offers a robust solution for extending instrument life. Facilitating rapid sample turnover, the hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane structure ensures the 5.0 rating remains consistent even under pressure. Designed to facilitate rapid processing, the housing features an optimized flow geometry that minimizes backpressure, allowing for easier manual filtration even with viscous samples. Consequently, by reducing the risk of downstream contamination, these filters serve as a critical safeguard for the integrity of your experimental results.
