Acro Disc Syringe Filters w/ PTFE Membrane - 0.2um, 25mm, 1000/Pk SKU: 4521

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 25mm - 4521

Designed for the stringent demands of cell culture and biological assays, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters offers validated bacterial retention for confident sample preparation. Driving this efficiency is the integration of a hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, ensuring high recovery of sensitive samples while maintaining a sterile effluent. Complementing the membrane's purity, the housing's thermal bonding eliminates the need for adhesives, removing a common source of extractable contamination. Ultimately, this rigorous attention to manufacturing quality ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility, allowing laboratories to standardize their workflows with total confidence.

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
• 0.2 rating suitable for sterile filtration

Key Housing Characteristics

• High-purity Polypropylene encapsulation housing
• Luer-Lock/ Luer Slip for secure fitting
• 3.9cm² effective filtration area
• < 100 µl holdup volume to minimize sample loss

Your laboratory throughput depends on reliable consumables, and these filters are designed to keep your sequences running smoothly, sample after sample. Protecting your downstream processes requires a defensive strategy, and utilizing these verified filters gives you the peace of mind that your work is safe. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.

Hydrophobic

• Air Monitoring - Ensures precise capture of airborne particulates for environmental analysis in challenging atmospheric monitoring conditions
• Chemical Synthesis - Resists aggressive organic solvents and corrosive acids, ensuring compatibility with the harshest synthetic reaction mixtures
• Moisture Barrier - Protects sensitive electronic sensors and instruments from aqueous aerosols while allowing gases to pass freely
• Venting Applications - Prevents moisture and particulate intrusion in sterile tanks and vessels, ensuring a contaminant-free storage environment
• Aggressive Solvents - Clarifies chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics without membrane degradation, ensuring pure filtrate quality every time
• Pump Protection - Acts as a reliable hydrophobic barrier to protect vacuum pumps from corrosive moisture damage and particulate contamination
