Glass Fiber Syringe Filters, 2.7 um, 13mm, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF18317

Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters - SF18317

Environmental testing and industrial quality control laboratories require robust prefiltration solutions for heavily contaminated samples containing significant particulate loads. The SF18317 meets these demanding requirements with a 2.7 µm glass fiber membrane that removes coarse particles while maintaining flow rates during extended processing operations. Your analytical workflows benefit from depth filtration technology where borosilicate glass microfibers capture suspended solids throughout the membrane matrix, protecting downstream instrumentation from fouling while the compact 13mm design handles smaller sample volumes with minimal holdup losses.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 2.7 µm glass fiber membrane delivers robust coarse prefiltration for samples requiring substantial particulate removal before final processing
• 1.09 cm² filtration area in the 13mm diameter provides 10 ml throughput capacity for routine laboratory sample volumes
• Borosilicate glass microfiber construction maintains performance across aggressive chemical environments, including strong acids, bases, and organic solvents
• Hydrophilic surface characteristics facilitate immediate aqueous sample processing without requiring pre-wetting procedures in your workflows
• 250-290 µm membrane thickness creates a depth filtration structure that distributes particle capture throughout multiple layers

Key Construction Characteristics

• Robust polypropylene housing handles operating pressures up to 87 psi for challenging sample matrices and viscous fluids
• 20 µL holdup volume ensures efficient sample recovery when working with limited quantities or expensive reagents
• Dual luer-lok/luer slip inlet and outlet connections provide compatibility with standard syringes and automated dispensing equipment
• Autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes to support your sterilization protocols when biological applications require contamination control

Quality assurance comes from depth filtration mechanics that capture particles throughout the glass fiber matrix rather than relying solely on surface retention. Your prefiltration operations gain efficiency from the 2.7 µm pore size that processes heavily contaminated samples without premature clogging. The compact format suits smaller sample volumes while maintaining broad chemical resistance across pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial testing applications where you need reliable coarse clarification before chromatography or final filtration steps.
