Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters - SF18304
Featuring advanced polyethersulfone membrane technology with triple-layer glass fiber prefiltration for maximum throughput in challenging samples. A 0.45µm pore configuration delivers exceptional clarification performance while three graduated prefilters dramatically extend membrane life with heavily particulated solutions. Tisch Scientific combines hydrophilic PES membranes with innovative multi-stage prefiltration architecture to achieve industry-leading flow rates and capacity.
Key Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic membrane ensures immediate wetting without surfactants or pre-treatment
- Exceptional chemical compatibility withstands aggressive solvents and pH extremes from 1-14
- Low protein binding properties preserve sample integrity and prevent analyte loss
- 0.45µm pore size provides reliable clarification and coarse particulate removal
- Autoclavable construction enables sterilization at 121°C for 30 minutes when required
Key Construction Characteristics
- Triple glass fiber prefilter layers provide graduated particulate retention, maximizing capacity
- Dual Luer-Lok/Luer Slip connectivity accommodates all standard syringe configurations
- Reinforced polypropylene housing withstands 87psi burst pressure for secure operation
- 100µl holdup volume minimizes sample loss when processing valuable or limited samples
SF18304 syringe filters achieve exceptional 65ml/min flow rates through an optimized 4.08cm² active membrane area, dramatically accelerating your filtration workflows even with challenging samples. Triple-layer glass fiber prefiltration technology provides unmatched protection against membrane fouling, consistently delivering 50ml throughput volumes while maintaining 31.91psi bubble point specifications. Autoclave compatibility at 121°C offers flexibility for your applications requiring sterility, transforming nonsterile units into validated sterile filters for critical laboratory processes.
