Pura Disc 13mm GF/A GMF Syringe Filters, 1.6um, 500 Pk
Whatman SKU: 6806-1316

Whatman Puradisc Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters, 1.6 µm, 13 mm, 500/Pk - 6806-1316

Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production guides material selection and quality control. At the point of sample preparation, a syringe filter removes particulates before the sample reaches the instrument. The borosilicate glass matrix tolerates repeated high-temperature pre-conditioning while drawing aqueous samples through without preconditioning and captures particulates throughout its depth. Polypropylene construction resists chemical degradation from routine sample matrices while routing flow to minimize backpressure in service and prevents sample bypass under rated operating pressure. When sterile or particle-free preparation matters at the bench, the syringe filter delivers it with minimal added handling.

Technical Specifications

• Naturally hydrophilic surface wets rapidly with aqueous samples
• Biologically inert borosilicate fiber with broad chemical compatibility
• Withstands high-temperature pre-conditioning up to 500°C
• Inorganic construction suits demanding sample-preparation chemistries
• Nominal depth retention with high dirt-loading capacity

Housing Specifications

• Reliable housing-to-membrane seal prevents bypass at rated pressure
• Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
• Low extractable contribution protects sensitive downstream analyses
• Resists aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols in routine sample prep

Filtering every buffer before loading keeps your instrument running clean and uninterrupted. Upstream buffer clarification keeps avoidable particulates out of your flow path while keeping the filtrate analytically clean.
