Nylon Syringe Filters - SF18005

The SF18005 nylon syringe filters combine a 13mm diameter with 5.0µm pore size, providing high-flow coarse filtration and prefiltration capabilities specifically designed for small-volume precious samples. Tisch Scientific syringe filters excel at rapidly removing large particulates while maintaining exceptional flow rates of 80ml/min at 10 psi in a compact format ideal for limited sample quantities. SF18005 filters deliver the unique combination of high-speed filtration and minimal sample consumption, perfect for laboratories working with valuable or scarce materials.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

• 5.0µm pore size rating enables rapid coarse filtration and effective prefiltration, removing large particles, cells, and debris while preserving smaller components
• Naturally hydrophilic membrane allows immediate filtration of aqueous solutions without pre-wetting, maintaining consistent 80ml/min flow rates throughout processing
• Exceptional flow-to-size ratio delivers remarkably high throughput for a 13mm format, minimizing processing time for small-volume applications
• Broad chemical compatibility supports filtration of both aqueous and organic solvents, accommodating diverse precious sample types and analytical methods
• Temperature stability to 100°C permits processing of heated samples and enables autoclave sterilization at 121°C when sterile handling is required

Key Construction Characteristics

• Durable polypropylene housing provides excellent chemical resistance and maintains structural integrity at pressures up to 87 psi burst pressure
• 13mm diameter format offers 1.09cm² effective filtration area optimized for small-volume samples with 10ml throughput capacity
• Universal Luer-Lok/Luer Slip compatibility ensures secure connections with standard syringes while preventing sample loss during high-flow filtration
• Minimal 20µl holdup volume maximizes recovery of precious samples despite the high-flow design, critical for expensive or limited materials

SF18005 syringe filters provide the specialized high-flow performance your small-volume applications demand when every microliter counts. Tisch Scientific's combination of 5.0µm nylon membrane technology and compact 13mm design ensures you'll achieve rapid filtration speeds while preserving your precious samples. Your research benefits from the exceptional 80ml/min flow rate in a small format that makes the SF18005 ideal for applications where sample conservation and processing speed are equally critical to your success.
