Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF18134

Processing extremely contaminated samples with very high particulate loads challenges standard prefiltration membranes that clog rapidly or generate excessive pressure buildup. Hydrophilic glass fiber membrane technology at 5.0 µm pore size solves this problem through maximum dirt-loading capacity and depth filtration structure that traps large particulates throughout the membrane thickness. The coarse pore opening handles heavily contaminated samples that would instantly overwhelm finer membranes, protecting downstream equipment and secondary filtration stages from premature fouling. Your workflows benefit from glass fiber's exceptional chemical compatibility with organic solvents, strong acids, and bases while maintaining high throughput for rapid processing.

Key Membrane Characteristics

5.0 µm glass fiber membrane provides maximum dirt-loading capacity with depth filtration for extremely contaminated samples
4.08 cm² filtration area in 25mm diameter format delivers high throughput for processing substantial volumes of particulate-laden samples
Hydrophilic surface properties enable rapid aqueous wetting while maintaining compatibility with diverse organic solvents
Maximum operating pressure of 87 psi accommodates even the most challenging sample matrices safely during processing
50 ml volume throughput capacity handles large volumes of heavily contaminated samples before requiring filter replacement

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 high-volume prefiltration requirements
Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet combines a secure syringe connection with convenient collection vessel attachment
Nonsterile configuration arrives autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes or gamma irradiation at 25 kGy when protocols require sterile operation

Your nonsterile filters accommodate gamma irradiation or autoclave sterilization for integration into laboratory protocols. The 5.0 µm pore size maximizes dirt-loading capacity and flow rates, enabling rapid processing of extremely contaminated samples while extending filter life significantly compared to finer membrane grades. Each filter combines glass fiber's broad chemical compatibility with exceptional debris removal capability, delivering reliable very coarse prefiltration for the most challenging sample matrices encountered in environmental, industrial, and biological research applications.
