Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF18316

Highly particulate samples often clog finer filters prematurely, wasting time and compromising sample recovery during analytical workflows. The SF18316 solves this challenge with a 1.6 µm glass fiber membrane designed specifically for coarse prefiltration where suspended solids require removal before downstream processing. Your operations benefit from borosilicate glass microfibers that capture particles throughout the depth filter structure rather than forming surface blockages, maintaining flow rates while protecting expensive chromatography columns and analytical instrumentation from fouling.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 1.6 µm glass fiber membrane delivers coarse prefiltration performance for samples with high particulate loads requiring protection
• 1.09 cm² filtration area in the compact 13mm configuration processes up to 10 ml sample volumes efficiently
• Borosilicate glass microfiber construction resists aggressive chemicals, including strong acids, bases, and organic solvents, without contributing extractables
• Hydrophilic surface properties enable immediate aqueous sample processing without pre-wetting requirements in your protocols
• 250-290 µm membrane thickness provides multilayer particle capture zones that extend filter life during challenging applications

Key Construction Characteristics

• Durable polypropylene housing maintains structural integrity under operating pressures up to 87 psi during filtration operations
• 20 µL holdup volume minimizes sample loss when working with limited quantities or expensive materials requiring recovery
• Dual luer-lok/luer slip inlet and outlet connections accommodate standard laboratory syringes and automated liquid handling systems
• Autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes to support your in-house sterilization protocols when biological applications require it

Your prefiltration workflows gain reliability from depth filtration mechanics that distribute particle capture throughout the glass fiber matrix. The 1.6 µm pore size handles heavily particulate samples that would overwhelm finer membranes while the compact 13mm format suits smaller sample volumes efficiently. This nonsterile configuration offers flexibility where you can autoclave filters before use or employ them directly for routine sample preparation in pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial testing applications.
