Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 13mm - 4552TC

When sample purity is non-negotiable, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters serves as a reliable safeguard, effectively removing microorganisms from aqueous solutions. Leveraging the specific retention properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this device offers a validated 0.2 barrier against microbial contaminants. Designed to facilitate rapid processing, the housing features an optimized flow geometry that minimizes backpressure, allowing for easier manual filtration even with viscous samples. 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

When you integrate these filters into your daily standard operating procedures, you are choosing a workflow that prioritizes efficiency without compromising results. You can rely on the certified integrity of these units to protect your critical samples and instrumentation from damaging contaminants. 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.
