Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 25mm - AP-4791
For critical applications requiring absolute sterility assurance, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters series provides a verified barrier against bacterial contamination. Driving this efficiency is the integration of a hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, ensuring high recovery of sensitive samples while maintaining a sterile effluent. 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.
