Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF14696

Filtering extremely viscous samples and high-particulate solutions challenges standard membrane materials that clog rapidly or generate excessive back pressure. Hydrophilic glass fiber membrane technology solves this problem through exceptional dirt-loading capacity and depth filtration structure that traps particulates throughout the membrane thickness. The 0.7 µm pore size removes particulates efficiently while maintaining flow rates of 70 ml/min even with challenging sample matrices. Your prefiltration workflows benefit from glass fiber's compatibility with organic solvents, strong acids, and bases, combined with high throughput that processes viscous serums and tissue media without premature fouling.

Key Membrane Characteristics

0.7 µm glass fiber membrane provides high dirt-loading capacity with depth filtration structure for extremely viscous and particulate-laden samples
1.09 cm² filtration area in compact 13mm diameter handles challenging samples efficiently despite the smaller format
Hydrophilic surface properties ensure rapid wetting with aqueous solutions while maintaining compatibility with diverse organic solvents
Flow rate of 70 ml/min at 10 psi delivers excellent throughput even with viscous samples that would clog standard membranes
Maximum operating pressure of 87 psi accommodates challenging sample matrices without membrane failure during processing

Key Construction Characteristics

Polypropylene housing provides chemical resistance suitable for aggressive solvents, acids, and bases encountered in sample processing
20 µL holdup volume minimizes sample loss, particularly valuable when processing expensive reagents or limited sample volumes
Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet combines secure syringe attachment with easy collection vessel connection during filtration
Nonsterile supply format arrives autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes or gamma irradiation at 25 kGy when protocols require sterile operation

Glass fiber syringe filters offer a depth filtration structure that enables high dirt-loading capacity to extend filter life with challenging samples, reducing processing costs significantly. You're able to obtain exceptional chemical compatibility across organic solvents, strong acids, and bases combined with the high throughput necessary for efficiently processing viscous samples. While resistant to most chemicals, you must avoid benzyl alcohol and specific organic oxides to ensure integrity during your critical filtration procedures. Furthermore, the nonsterile format supports your autoclave sterilization protocols, allowing seamless integration into rigorous workflows requiring aseptic conditions.
