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
• Moderate protein binding characteristics maintain sample integrity while effectively capturing large contaminants
• 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.

Hydrophilic

• Gross particle removal from environmental samples - Clarifies turbid water and soil extracts before analytical testing
• Protection of downstream filters - Extends the lifespan of expensive fine-pore filters by removing large contaminants
• Heavily contaminated sample preparation - Handles high particulate loads that would rapidly clog finer membranes
• Cell debris removal - Clarifies lysates and homogenates for subsequent protein or nucleic acid purification
• Industrial process sampling - Prepares manufacturing samples containing visible particles for quality testing
• Prefiltration of viscous solutions - Removes large aggregates from thick samples before final filtration steps
