Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Filters, 0.1µm, 142mm - SF18063
For critical applications requiring absolute sterility assurance, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Filters series provides a verified barrier against bacterial contamination. To achieve this medical-grade standard, the filter utilizes a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane that provides a sharp 0.1 cutoff necessary for sterilizing biological fluids. Manufactured with strict thickness tolerances, these membranes provide a reliable barrier for critical filtration steps without compromising flow. Ultimately, this rigorous attention to manufacturing quality ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility, allowing laboratories to standardize their workflows with total confidence.
