Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF18262
Ready-to-use sterile construction with hydrophilic glass fiber at 10.0 µm pore size delivers maximum flow rates for grossly contaminated samples requiring aseptic initial screening. The largest pore size in sterile glass fiber format excels when removing gross debris and large suspended particulates that would instantly overwhelm finer membranes, protecting downstream equipment under controlled conditions. You gain unprecedented throughput with exceptional dirt-loading capacity combined with the chemical compatibility that glass fiber provides across organic solvents, strong acids, and bases. The individually packaged sterile filters with polypropylene housing ensure contamination control while the Luer-Lok inlet provides secure operation during high-volume aseptic processing.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 10.0 µm glass fiber membrane provides the largest pore size for maximum flow rates and dirt-loading capacity with grossly contaminated samples
- 4.08 cm² filtration area in 25mm diameter format delivers 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 even the most challenging sample matrices safely during aseptic operations
- 50 ml volume throughput capacity handles large volumes of extremely 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 aseptic screening requirements
- Luer-Lok inlet with Luer Slip outlet combines a secure syringe connection with a 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 streamlines your aseptic workflows by arriving individually packaged without requiring preparation procedures. The 10.0 µm pore size maximizes both flow rates and dirt-loading capacity, enabling the fastest processing of grossly contaminated samples while providing the longest filter life in the sterile glass fiber product line. Your pharmaceutical operations benefit from contamination control that sterile packaging delivers, combined with the exceptional debris removal capability and broad chemical compatibility that demanding aseptic initial screening applications require.
