Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filter - SF14698
The 0.7 µm hydrophilic glass fiber membrane in a 25mm diameter configuration delivers exceptional throughput for high-volume viscous sample processing. Technical specifications include a 4.08 cm² filtration area, 250 ml/min flow rate, 50 ml volume throughput capacity, and 87 psi maximum operating pressure. The depth filtration structure provides high dirt-loading capacity that traps particulates throughout the membrane thickness rather than solely at the surface. Such a glass fiber configuration excels across diverse applications from viscous biological sample prefiltration to aggressive chemical clarification. Binder-free media prevents extractable contamination effectively.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 0.7 µm glass fiber membrane delivers depth filtration with exceptional dirt-loading capacity for extremely viscous and particulate-laden samples
- 4.08 cm² filtration area in 25mm diameter format provides high throughput capacity for processing larger sample volumes efficiently
- Hydrophilic surface properties enable immediate wetting with aqueous solutions while maintaining compatibility with organic solvents
- Flow rate of 250 ml/min ensures rapid processing of viscous samples that would generate excessive pressure in standard membranes
- 50 ml volume throughput capacity handles substantial sample volumes before requiring filter replacement, reducing processing costs
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing construction provides chemical resistance appropriate for aggressive solvents, acids, and bases
- 100 µL holdup volume minimizes sample waste while accommodating the larger filtration area requirements
- Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet combines secure syringe attachment with convenient collection vessel connection
- Nonsterile supply format arrives autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes or gamma irradiation at 25 kGy when protocols require sterile operation
Your laboratory benefits from a glass fiber depth filtration structure that enables high dirt-loading capacity to extend filter life with challenging samples. You obtain exceptional chemical compatibility across organic solvents, strong acids, and bases combined with the high throughput necessary for 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.
