Whatman Puradisc PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.1 µm, 25 mm, 1000/Pk - 6798-2501
Whatman verifies performance ratings at the lot level using process controls that stay uniform across its entire filtration lineup. Gas and vent service calls for a hydrophobic syringe filter rated to the same sterilizing-grade pore size as its liquid counterpart. Hydrophobic PTFE blocks aqueous ingress in vent and gas applications while delivering sterilizing-grade gas and vent filtration and resists attack from the harshest process chemistries. The polypropylene housing presses snugly against the membrane during the pass while holding its form through high-temperature sample preparation conditions and keeps the sample chemically unaltered across the pass. A vent or gas line stays free of airborne bacteria once a hydrophobic, sterilizing-grade membrane is in the path.
Technical Specifications
- Strong oxidizing agents like nascent chlorine and concentrated sodium hydroxide cause no attack
- Stable across a wide operating temperature range for demanding methods
- Solvent tolerance includes full-strength tetrahydrofuran and chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane
- Chemical resistance spans the full pH 1 to 14 range
- Ionic and metallic extractable levels stay very low
Housing Specifications
- Burst pressure rating provides a wide safety margin above the rated maximum operating pressure.
- Stable across the full aqueous pH range in routine sample work
- PP housing rated to 121°C holds its geometry through high-temperature sample preparation and processing.
- Minimal ionic background from the polypropylene housing supports ion chromatography and trace-metal ICP-MS sample preparation.
Removing particulates from organic solvents and reagents before they move downstream keeps contamination out of your results. Reliable solvent prefiltration clears particulates from your organic samples so your downstream method starts with a clean sample.
