Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.1µm, 25mm - 6784-2501
Eliminate the risk of microbial contamination in your upstream workflows with the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 25mm, Syringe Filter, 0.1µm, nonsterile 50/pk, optimized for sterile filtration protocols. To achieve this medical-grade standard, the filter utilizes a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane that provides a sharp 0.1 cutoff necessary for sterilizing biological fluids. To guarantee structural reliability, each unit undergoes strict quality control to ensure the housing and membrane seal withstand standard operating pressures without leakage. 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
