Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF18204
Clarifying high-volume biological samples and chemical solutions under aseptic conditions challenges laboratories when contamination risks accompany filter preparation procedures. Sterile hydrophilic glass fiber membrane technology at 0.45 µm pore size solves this problem by providing ready-to-use fine particulate removal with exceptional dirt-loading capacity. The depth filtration structure removes smaller particulates than coarser grades while maintaining high throughput for processing substantial sample volumes. Your controlled environment workflows benefit from individually packaged sterile filters combined with glass fiber's compatibility with organic solvents, strong acids, and bases where binder-free media prevents extractable contamination.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 0.45 µm glass fiber membrane delivers depth filtration with effective fine particulate removal for aqueous and organic clarification
- 4.08 cm² filtration area in 25mm diameter format provides high throughput for processing substantial volumes under sterile conditions
- Hydrophilic surface properties enable rapid aqueous wetting while maintaining compatibility with diverse organic solvents
- Maximum operating pressure of 87 psi accommodates viscous samples and challenging matrices during aseptic operations
- 50 ml volume throughput capacity handles large sample volumes before replacement, optimizing cost efficiency in sterile workflows
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 aseptic clarification requirements
- Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet combines secure syringe connection with convenient collection vessel attachment
- Individual sterile packaging ensures each filter maintains sterility until use, eliminating preparation and handling contamination risks
Each ready-to-use sterile filter eliminates preparation time while reducing contamination risks inherent in filter handling procedures. The glass fiber depth filtration structure enables exceptional dirt-loading capacity that extends filter life with particulate-laden samples, reducing replacement frequency in pharmaceutical operations. Your controlled environment processes benefit from the high-volume capacity that 50 ml throughput provides, combined with the contamination control that sterile packaging delivers for demanding fine particulate clarification applications in clean room and aseptic laboratory settings.
