Acro Disc Syringe Filters w/ PTFE Membrane - 0.45um, 13mm, Male Slip Luer Outlet, 1000/Pk SKU: 4543

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 13mm - 4543

For researchers requiring consistent baselines in HPLC and dissolution testing, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters offers a robust solution for extending instrument life. Facilitating rapid sample turnover, the hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane structure ensures the 0.45 rating remains consistent even under pressure. Encasing this critical media is a high-purity polypropylene housing that prevents sample bypass and ensures that every microliter is processed with high fidelity. 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
• 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. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
