Glass Fiber Syringe Filter, 1.0um Pore, 13mm, Nonsterile, Luer-Lok Inlet, 100/Pk SKU: LE-IWT-ES10116

Featuring binderless glass fiber membrane technology delivering exceptional dirt-loading capacity and high flow rates for coarse prefiltration of viscous solutions and turbid samples. The 1.0µm nominal pore size provides maximum particulate retention through depth filtration structure while maintaining outstanding chemical compatibility with acids, bases, and organic solvents. Depth filtration structure traps particulates throughout the membrane thickness rather than solely at the surface, enabling extended filter life when processing challenging sample matrices requiring pretreatment.

Key Glass Fiber Membrane Characteristics

• Binderless borosilicate glass construction eliminates organic contamination while delivering chemical inertness to all acids except hydrofluoric acid
• High flow rate and strong dirt-holding capacity optimize processing efficiency for heavily particulate samples requiring rapid throughput
• Hydrophobic surface chemistry provides excellent wetting characteristics for both aqueous and organic solvent applications
• 1.0µm nominal retention effectively captures suspended particles while maximizing volumetric flow rates during extended filtration cycles
• Low extractables profile maintains sample integrity for chromatography and analytical applications sensitive to contamination

Key Construction Characteristics

• Medical-grade polypropylene housing withstands aggressive solvents, acids, and bases while maintaining dimensional stability
• Female Luer-Lok inlet ensures secure syringe connection during high-pressure applications preventing disconnection under load
• Male Luer-slip outlet provides universal compatibility with collection vessels and downstream processing equipment
• 13mm diameter format delivers compact footprint for small-volume samples while maintaining adequate filtration area
• Ultrasonic welding construction prevents leakage and maintains sterility barrier when autoclaved or gamma sterilized

LE-IWT-ES10116 filters achieve superior prefiltration performance for dissolution testing, sample preparation, and general laboratory filtration requiring coarse debris removal. Outstanding chemical resistance to most laboratory solvents maximizes application flexibility when processing aggressive solutions containing suspended particulates. Material is nitrate-free making it suitable for groundwater & EPA ASTM's, enabling validated environmental testing protocols. The nonsterile format accommodates sterilization by autoclave, gamma irradiation, or ethylene oxide, transforming these filters into sterile-grade media for your critical pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
