Nylon Syringe Filters - SPEC18129
Featuring hydrophilic nylon membrane technology with 3.0µm pore size for large particle removal and sample clarification applications. Laboratory professionals rely on these filters for processing samples containing coarse particulates that require removal before downstream analysis. ABS housing construction combined with double Luer Lock connections ensures chemical resistance and secure operation at pressures up to 72.5psi while handling both aqueous and organic solvent samples.
Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic membrane allows immediate filtration of aqueous solutions without alcohol pre-wetting steps
- 3.0µm pore size effectively removes large particles and debris while maintaining high flow rates for rapid processing
- Broad chemical compatibility enables filtration of water, buffers, alcohols, DMSO, DMF, and laboratory solvents
- Moderate protein binding characteristics balance sample recovery with efficient particulate retention capabilities
- Non-sterile packaging provides an economical solution for routine applications not requiring aseptic conditions
Key Construction Characteristics
- ABS housing material provides chemical resistance and structural stability at temperatures up to 80°C
- Double Luer Lock design featuring female inlet and male outlet prevents disconnection during pressurized filtration
- Minimal holdup volume (<100µl typical for 20mm format) maximizes recovery of expensive or limited samples
- 3.1cm² effective filtration area delivers adequate flow rates for processing samples up to 60ml efficiently
SPEC18129 filters enhance your laboratory workflows through efficient large particle removal backed by a 4.35psi bubble point, ensuring consistent pore structure. Non-sterile packaging reduces costs for routine applications, while the 116 psi burst pressure provides a substantial safety margin for confident operation. Your sample preparation benefits from the proven 20mm format, delivering reliable clarification performance across diverse analytical methods.
