Pall Acrodisc Water-Wettable PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 25 mm, 200/Pk - AP-4916
Pall Corporation engineers proprietary membrane media and the Acrodisc housing platform, purpose-built for demanding analytical and bioprocess workflows. At the point of sample preparation, a syringe filter removes particulates before the sample reaches the instrument. Water-wettable PTFE wets directly with aqueous and organic samples while filtering aqueous and organic samples in one membrane and keeps protein binding low for accurate recovery. The PP housing stays inert across common laboratory solvents and buffers in routine use and maintains a low-dead-volume internal flow path. When chromatographic methods demand particle-free injections, point-of-use syringe filtration clarifies the sample before it reaches the column.
Technical Specifications
- Chemically inert to aggressive organic solvents, strong acids, and alkalis
- Absolute pore-size rating gives consistent retention across protocols
- Low protein binding preserves dilute analytes for maximum recovery
- Universal compatibility across aqueous buffers and organic solvents
- Water-wettable surface wets directly with both aqueous and organic samples
Housing Specifications
- Reliable housing-to-membrane seal prevents bypass at rated pressure
- Low extractable contribution protects sensitive downstream analyses
- Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
- Thermal-bonded construction keeps adhesives out of the fluid path
Sample clarification before injection is the cheapest insurance your chromatography system has. Pre-injection filtration protects the resolution your methods depend on across your chromatography methods. Review our Chemical Compatibility Chart, or ask technical service to confirm chemical compatibility for your specific application.
