Nylon Syringe Filters - SF18212

The SF18212 nylon syringe filters feature an ultra-compact 4mm diameter with 0.22µm pore size in a pre-sterilized configuration, providing certified sterile filtration and sterilization capabilities for microvolume applications where sample preservation is paramount. Tisch Scientific's sterile syringe filters excel at removing bacteria and particulates from precious samples while minimizing holdup volume to just 5µl, making them essential for expensive biological reagents and irreplaceable specimens. SF18212 filters combine validated sterility assurance with the smallest available format, delivering reliable sterilization performance when every microliter of sterile filtrate is critical.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

0.22µm absolute pore rating ensures complete bacterial removal and sterilization, providing guaranteed sterile filtrate for critical microvolume applications
Pre-sterilized and individually packaged eliminates preparation steps and maintains aseptic conditions throughout the filtration process
Naturally hydrophilic membrane enables immediate filtration of aqueous solutions without pre-wetting, maintaining controlled 0.5ml/min flow rates at 10 psi
Low protein binding properties preserve valuable proteins and biomolecules during sterile filtration, essential for precious biological therapeutics
Validated sterility assurance meets industry standards with bubble point specification of 0.28 psi, confirming membrane integrity and bacterial retention

Key Construction Characteristics

Medical-grade polypropylene housing provides exceptional chemical resistance and maintains structural integrity at pressures up to 87 psi burst pressure
4mm diameter format offers 0.125cm² filtration area specifically engineered for ultra-small volume sterile applications up to 1ml throughput
Universal Luer-Lok/Luer Slip compatibility ensures aseptic connections with microvolume syringes while preventing contamination during critical procedures
Minimal 5µl holdup volume maximizes recovery of irreplaceable samples, critical for limited clinical specimens and costly reagents

SF18212 syringe filters provide the specialized sterile filtration performance your microvolume applications demand when sample conservation and sterility are equally critical. Tisch Scientific's combination of certified 0.22µm sterilizing membrane technology and ultra-compact 4mm design ensures you'll achieve reliable bacterial removal while preserving your most valuable samples. Your critical research benefits from the minimal 5µl holdup volume and pre-sterilized packaging that make the SF18212 essential for applications where sterility assurance and maximum sample recovery determine experimental success.
