Nylon Syringe Filters, 5.0um, 20mm, Threaded Double Luer Lock, ABS Housing, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18130

Nylon Syringe Filters - SPEC18130

Featuring hydrophilic nylon membrane technology with 5.0µm pore size for gross particle filtration and primary clarification applications. Laboratory professionals utilize these filters to protect downstream filtration systems while removing large particulates from heavily contaminated samples. ABS housing construction paired with double Luer Lock connections provides chemical resistance and secure attachment at operating pressures up to 72.5psi across diverse sample preparation workflows.

Key Nylon Membrane Characteristics

• Naturally hydrophilic membrane enables immediate filtration without pre-wetting for aqueous solutions and buffers
• 5.0µm pore size removes gross particulates and debris, protecting expensive downstream 0.45µm or 0.22µm filters
• Broad chemical compatibility supports filtration of water, alcohols, DMSO, DMF, and common organic solvents
• Optimized membrane thickness provides consistent flow rates while maintaining reliable coarse particle retention
• Non-sterile packaging provides a cost-effective solution for applications not requiring aseptic conditions

Key Construction Characteristics

• ABS housing material withstands aggressive chemicals and maintains structural integrity at temperatures up to 80°C
• Double Luer Lock design featuring female inlet and male outlet prevents accidental disconnection during filtration
• Low holdup volume (<100µl typical for 20mm format) minimizes loss of valuable or limited-volume samples
• 3.1cm² effective filtration area provides adequate flow rates for processing heavily particulate samples efficiently

SPEC18130 filters optimize your laboratory efficiency by preventing premature clogging of expensive downstream filters through effective gross particle removal. Non-sterile packaging reduces costs for routine applications while the 2.9psi bubble point confirms consistent pore structure. Your filtration workflows benefit from the substantial 116psi burst pressure safety margin and rapid processing speeds achievable with 5.0µm pore size filtration.

Please note: ABS housings are not recommended for aggressive solvents like Acetonitrile or Acetone. For more information about chemical and material compatibility, please review our Chemical Compatibility Chart.

• Environmental Sample Clarification - Clarifies turbid water samples to remove sediment and prevent clogging during subsequent fine filtration
• Downstream Filter Protection - Removes coarse contaminants to significantly extend the operational life of downstream fine membrane filters
• Contaminated Sample Prep - Handles high particulate loads that would rapidly clog finer membranes to ensure efficient processing in workflows
• Dissolution Media Prefiltration - Removes coarse tablet fragments from dissolution samples to ensure accurate analytical measurement
• Industrial Process Sampling - Clarifies manufacturing samples containing visible particulates to ensure consistent quality control workflows
• Viscous Solution Prefiltration - Removes large aggregates from viscous samples to prevent premature clogging of fine filters during processing
