PVDF Syringe Filter, Hydrophobic, 0.45μm, 17mm, Nonsterile, Luer-Lok, 100/pk SKU: LE-IWT-ES10331

Featuring hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology delivering exceptional chemical resistance and minimal protein binding for demanding analytical applications. The 0.45µm pore configuration provides precise particulate retention while maintaining superior flow characteristics through aqueous and organic solvent systems. Excellent chemical compatibility with aggressive acids and alcohols combined with thermal stability to 60°C maximizes analytical flexibility across diverse laboratory protocols.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic surface chemistry resists water interference while maintaining compatibility with organic solvents and protein solutions
• Low protein binding properties enable high recovery rates for peptides and proteins in biological sample preparation
• 0.45µm absolute retention rating captures particles and contaminants while optimizing flow rates for high-throughput applications
• Exceptional chemical stability withstands exposure to acids, bases, and organic solvents without membrane degradation
• Superior thermal performance maintains integrity through 60°C continuous operation for heated sample processing

Key Construction Characteristics

• 17mm diameter membrane provides optimal filtration area for small volume samples while minimizing hold-up volume
• Luer-Lok inlet connection ensures secure, leak-tight attachment to syringes and prevents accidental disconnection
• Polypropylene housing construction delivers broad chemical compatibility and maintains structural integrity under pressure
• Concentric funnel-shaped barrel design increases internal volume while reducing back pressure for enhanced flow performance
• Ultrasonically bonded construction eliminates adhesives and provides reliable seal integrity throughout the filtration process

These nonsterile filters deliver consistent unit-to-unit reproducibility optimized for HPLC sample preparation, protein purification, and chromatography applications requiring validated particle removal. Outstanding compatibility with water-soluble oligomers and polymers accelerates your analytical workflows while maintaining sample integrity. The hydrophobic membrane technology transforms these filters into reliable prefilters for GC and analytical instrumentation, providing contamination-free results for your critical analytical determinations demanding both chemical resistance and reproducible performance.
