Pura Disc 25mm PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.2um, 200 Pk SKU: 6785-2502

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 25mm - 6785-2502

For critical applications requiring absolute sterility assurance, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Whatman Puradisc, 25mm, Syringe Filter, 0.2µm, nonsterile 200/pk series provides a verified barrier against bacterial contamination. Driving this efficiency is the integration of a hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, ensuring high recovery of sensitive samples while maintaining a sterile effluent. Complementing the membrane's purity, the housing's thermal bonding eliminates the need for adhesives, removing a common source of extractable contamination. 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 0.2 retention rating for clarification

Key Housing Characteristics

• High-purity Polypropylene encapsulation housing
• Luer-Lok/ Luer Slip for secure fitting
• 4.2cm² effective filtration area
• <100µl 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. 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.

Hydrophobic

• Aerosol Sampling - The hydrophobic nature of PTFE allows for gas venting and air monitoring applications in harsh environments
• Cryogenic Fluids - Remains functional and integral even at extreme temperatures, protecting sensitive equipment from damage
• Organic Mobile Phases - Ideal for filtering 100% organic solvents in HPLC and GC workflows without any membrane degradation
• Aggressive Solvent Filtration - PTFE is chemically inert, making it the only choice for filtering strong acids and bases
• Environmental Monitoring - Ideal for filtering contaminants in water and wastewater analysis to ensure regulatory compliance
• Biological Fluid Analysis - Protects sensitive downstream instruments from filtering contaminants that can cause system failure
