Featuring hydrophilic nylon membrane technology delivering reliable particle removal and sample clarification for analytical applications. Optimized for aqueous liquids and solvents with pH range 3-14, these 0.45 µm syringe filters provide effective bacterial filtration as most bacteria are larger than 0.45 microns. Compact 4mm diameter design maximizes throughput while maintaining excellent flow characteristics for small-volume sample preparation in HPLC, GC, and dissolution testing protocols.
Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic membrane with low extractables and superior chemical compatibility compared to cellulose acetate alternatives
- General-purpose filtration capability suitable for most sample solutions and solvents in laboratory environments
- Excellent thermal stability withstands 121°C saturated steam autoclave sterilization for 20 minutes with maximum operating temperature of 60°C
- Outstanding chemical resistance to dilute acids, alcohols, esters, hydrocarbons, and halogenated compounds ensures broad solvent compatibility
- Inherent protein-binding capability makes these filters unsuitable for protein recovery but ideal for contaminant removal applications
Key Construction Characteristics
- Luer-lock syringe connection design ensures secure, leak-free attachment to standard laboratory syringes
- Ultrasonically bonded construction eliminates adhesive contamination while providing reliable seal integrity during filtration
- Color-coded identification system enables rapid pore size recognition and reduces selection errors in busy laboratories
- Low-extractable polypropylene housing construction minimizes interference with sensitive analytical measurements
- Compact 4mm diameter optimizes dead volume while maintaining structural integrity for consistent performance
These nonsterile nylon syringe filters deliver exceptional versatility for routine laboratory filtration, particularly in HPLC sample preparation where particulate matter removal is essential. High flux characteristics with low dissolution properties accelerate your analytical workflows while maintaining sample integrity. Food and beverage testing applications benefit from reliable particulate removal, while environmental monitoring protocols gain validated bacterial filtration for water quality analysis and microbiological assessments requiring proven 0.45 µm retention performance.
