Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF18163
The 1.0 µm hydrophilic glass fiber membrane in 30mm diameter configuration delivers exceptional capacity for high-volume coarse prefiltration applications. Technical specifications include 4.9 cm² filtration area, 350 ml/min flow rate, 110 ml volume throughput capacity, and 87 psi maximum operating pressure. The depth filtration structure provides maximum dirt-loading capacity while the larger diameter format enables processing substantially higher sample volumes before replacement. This configuration excels across applications requiring extensive particulate removal from biological samples, aggressive chemical solutions, and industrial process streams where extended filter life reduces operational costs.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 1.0 µm glass fiber membrane delivers depth filtration with high dirt-loading capacity for heavily particulate samples
- 4.9 cm² filtration area in 30mm diameter format provides the highest throughput capacity in the glass fiber product line
- Hydrophilic surface properties enable rapid aqueous wetting while maintaining compatibility with diverse organic solvents
- Flow rate of 350 ml/min ensures the fastest processing of viscous samples and high-particulate solutions
- 110 ml volume throughput capacity handles the largest sample volumes in glass fiber filters, maximizing cost efficiency
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing construction provides chemical resistance appropriate for aggressive solvents, acids, and bases
- 200 µL holdup volume accommodates the larger filtration area while minimizing sample waste relative to throughput capacity
- Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet combines a secure syringe connection with convenient collection vessel attachment
- Nonsterile supply format 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 30mm diameter format maximizes both flow rates and volume throughput capacity, enabling processing of substantially larger sample volumes while extending filter life significantly compared to smaller diameter alternatives. Each filter combines glass fiber's exceptional chemical compatibility with maximum debris removal capability, though you should avoid benzyl alcohol, some esters, and organic oxides which may compromise membrane integrity during processing.
