Acro Disc Syringe Filters w/ PTFE Membrane - 0.45um, 25mm, 1000/Pk SKU: 4501

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 25mm - 4501

In high-throughput analytical laboratories, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters series establishes a standard for effective particulate removal and sample clarification. To ensure analytical precision, the unit is constructed with a high-grade Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane providing a consistent 0.45 cutoff that passes only your target analyte. To guarantee structural reliability, each unit undergoes strict quality control to ensure the housing and membrane seal withstand standard operating pressures without leakage. The result is a filtration solution manufactured in an ISO-certified facility that minimizes distinct interference, providing clean baselines for publication-quality data.

Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics

• Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with hydrophobic (standard) / hydrophilic (treated) affinity
• Chemically Inert characteristics
• Universal resistance to aggressive organic solvents, strong acids, and alkalis
• Hydrophobic version requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous solutions
• Verified 0.45 retention rating for clarification

Key Housing Characteristics

• High-purity Polypropylene encapsulation housing
• Luer-Lock/ Luer Slip for secure fitting
• 3.9cm² effective filtration area
• < 125 µl holdup volume to minimize sample loss

By selecting a filter that matches the exact chemical nature of your samples, you ensure that your workflow remains uninterrupted by membrane failures. You invest significant resources into your samples; safeguarding them with a proven filtration barrier is a cost-effective insurance policy for your lab. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
