PVDF Sterile Syringe Filter, Hydrophobic, 0.22µm, 13mm, Luer-Lock, 100/pk SKU: LE-IWT-ES10054

Featuring sterile hydrophobic PVDF membrane technology delivering exceptional protein recovery and flow rate performance for critical biological and pharmaceutical filtration applications. Gamma sterilization processing maintains complete sterility while the 0.22µm pore configuration provides reliable sterilizing filtration of aqueous solutions and organic solvents. Ultrasonically bonded polypropylene housing with Luer-Lock® connections ensures leak-proof operation under pressure, while individually blister packed units maintain sterility until use.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane provides lowest protein adsorption among syringe filters for optimal biological recovery
Exceptional chemical compatibility withstands most organic solvents while resisting strong acids and bases
Superior thermal stability maintains performance integrity at elevated temperatures during sterilization protocols
0.22µm absolute pore rating achieves sterilizing filtration for bacteria and particulate removal in critical applications
Minimal extractables and low background contamination ensure sample purity for sensitive analytical methods

Key Construction Characteristics

Ultrasonically bonded construction eliminates adhesives and creates permanent, leak-proof seal under working pressures
Concentric funnel-shaped barrel design maximizes filtration volume while reducing back pressure during processing
Female Luer-Lock inlet with male Luer-slip outlet accommodates standard syringes and sampling equipment
13mm diameter provides optimal balance of filtration area and hold-up volume for sample processing efficiency
Individual blister packaging maintains sterility and enables easy identification with clearly marked specifications

LE-IWT-ES10054 filters deliver outstanding unit-to-unit reproducibility and lot-to-lot consistency, accelerating your analytical workflows while maintaining validated performance for protein solutions, tissue culture media, and pharmaceutical preparations. PVDF membrane stability matches PTFE performance characteristics, providing reliable filtration of water-soluble oligomers, polymers, and biological fluids requiring sterile processing. Gamma sterilization processing eliminates the need for autoclave treatment, transforming these filters into ready-to-use sterile devices ideal for HPLC sample preparation, biological solution clarification, and pharmaceutical quality control applications demanding both chemical resistance and microbiological safety.
