Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters, 0.2µm, 25mm - AP-4793

When sample purity is non-negotiable, the Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters serves as a reliable safeguard, effectively removing microorganisms from aqueous solutions. Driving this efficiency is the integration of a hydrophilic Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF) membrane, ensuring high recovery of sensitive samples while maintaining a sterile effluent. 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.
