Acro Disc Syringe Filters w/ PTFE Membrane - 0.2um, 13mm, Male Slip Luer Outlet, 1000/Pk SKU: 4542

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 13mm - 4542

Designed for the stringent demands of cell culture and biological assays, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters offers validated bacterial retention for confident sample preparation. To achieve this medical-grade standard, the filter utilizes a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane that provides a sharp 0.2 cutoff necessary for sterilizing biological fluids. Complementing the membrane's purity, the housing's thermal bonding eliminates the need for adhesives, removing a common source of extractable contamination. Consequently, by reducing the risk of downstream contamination, these filters serve as a critical safeguard for the integrity of your experimental results.

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
• 1.0cm² effective filtration area
• < 30 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. Trust in the consistent performance of your filtration step to remove the variables that often lead to costly re-runs and ambiguous data.

• Gas Filtration - Ensures sterility in air and gas lines for fermentation tanks, preventing the introduction of airborne contaminants
• 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
• Moisture Barrier - Protects sensitive electronic sensors and instruments from aqueous aerosols while allowing gases to pass freely
• Chemical Synthesis - Resists aggressive organic solvents and corrosive acids, ensuring compatibility with the harshest synthetic reaction mixtures
