Nylon Syringe Filters - SF18215
The SF18215 nylon syringe filters combine a 13mm diameter with 5.0µm pore size in a pre-sterilized configuration, providing high-flow coarse filtration and prefiltration capabilities for small-volume precious samples requiring aseptic processing. Tisch Scientific's sterile 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. SF18215 filters deliver the unique combination of high-speed filtration, minimal sample consumption, and certified sterility, perfect for laboratories working with valuable materials in contamination-sensitive applications.
Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics
- 5.0µm pore size rating enables rapid coarse filtration and effective prefiltration, removing large particles, cells, and debris while maintaining exceptional throughput
- Pre-sterilized and individually packaged ensures contamination-free filtration for sensitive applications requiring both particle removal and aseptic conditions
- Naturally hydrophilic membrane allows immediate filtration of aqueous solutions without pre-wetting, sustaining consistent 80ml/min flow rates throughout processing
- Exceptional flow-to-size ratio delivers remarkably high throughput for a 13mm format, minimizing processing time for precious sterile samples
- Broad chemical compatibility supports filtration of both aqueous and organic solvents while maintaining sterility for diverse analytical and biological workflows
Key Construction Characteristics
- Medical-grade 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 specifically optimized for small-volume samples with 10ml throughput capacity
- Universal Luer-Lok/Luer Slip compatibility ensures aseptic connections with sterile syringes while preventing contamination during high-flow filtration
- Minimal 20µl holdup volume maximizes recovery of precious samples despite the high-flow design, critical for expensive or irreplaceable materials
SF18215 syringe filters provide the specialized high-flow sterile filtration your small-volume applications demand when processing speed, sample conservation, and aseptic conditions are all critical. Tisch Scientific's combination of 5.0µm nylon membrane technology, compact 13mm design, and pre-sterilized packaging ensures you'll achieve rapid filtration while maintaining sterility for your precious samples. Your sensitive research benefits from the exceptional 80ml/min flow rate and certified sterile conditions that make the SF18215 essential when valuable samples require both efficient coarse filtration and contamination-free processing.
