PTFE Inline Filter, Sterile, 0.22µm, 50mm, 1/4" to 3/8" Barb Ports, 10/pk SKU: LE-IWT-ES10500

Featuring hydrophobic PTFE membrane technology delivering sterile air and gas filtration for critical vacuum system protection and bioprocess venting applications. The 0.22µm pore configuration provides bacterial retention suitable for sterile filtration while maintaining optimal flow characteristics through stepped barb port connections. Pre-sterilized using gamma irradiation and individually sealed in a 6 mil easy to open pouch, these disposable inline filters deliver contamination-free performance for laboratory and industrial processing environments.

Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic PTFE construction resists moisture interference and provides exceptional chemical resistance for organic solvents and aggressive gases
0.22µm absolute pore rating ensures removal of most bacteria and some viruses for sterile applications
50mm diameter membrane delivers high throughput capacity for continuous inline processing applications
Nonpolar filtration characteristics optimize performance with gases, solvents, and hydrophobic liquids
Gamma sterilization maintains membrane integrity while ensuring sterile barrier protection

Key Construction Characteristics

Ultrasonically welded and overmolded polypropylene housing delivers superior leak-free performance
Stepped barb ports from 1/4" to 3/8" with reinforced port base provide versatile connection strength
Molded flow direction indicator ensures proper installation orientation
Individual sealed packaging with tear-notch design enables sterile handling and easy opening
Disposable design eliminates cleaning validation requirements and reduces cross-contamination risks

LE-IWT-ES10500 filters excel in protecting vacuum systems and pumps from aerosol corrosion while preventing pathogen contamination of work areas during hazardous material processing. Outstanding versatility enables sterile gas introduction to bioreactors and culture vessels plus venting of fermentation tanks and carboys, accelerating your bioprocess workflows. Superior capacity for filtering aggressive solvents in volumes beyond syringe filter limitations maximizes your analytical flexibility while maintaining sterile processing integrity for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and environmental monitoring applications.
