Acro Disc Syringe Filters w/ PTFE Membrane - 0.45um, 13mm, Minispike Outlet, 300/Pk SKU: 4553

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.45µm, 13mm - 4553

Designed to protect sensitive chromatography columns from clogging, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters delivers exceptional retention of particulates without compromising flow rates. 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. Encasing this critical media is a high-purity polypropylene housing that prevents sample bypass and ensures that every microliter is processed with high fidelity. 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
