Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters - SF15016
Featuring advanced ultrafiltration-grade polyethersulfone membrane technology with a 0.05µm pore size for exceptional virus removal and macromolecule retention. Critical biopharmaceutical applications demand reliable ultrafiltration performance, delivered through precision-engineered PES membranes with an integrated 1.0µm glass fiber pre-filter. Tisch Scientific combines this dual-layer filtration architecture with robust polypropylene housing to ensure consistent performance in demanding viral clearance and protein aggregate removal applications.
Key Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic membrane providing instant wet-out without pre-treatment
- Ultra-fine 0.05µm pore structure enabling virus removal and endotoxin reduction
- Low protein binding properties preserving sample integrity during ultra-fine filtration
- Membrane thickness of 100-160µm, ensuring mechanical strength under pressure
- Chemical compatibility with aqueous solutions and mild organic solvents
Key Construction Characteristics
- Rugged polypropylene housing rated for 87psi maximum operating pressure
- Integrated 1.0µm glass fiber pre-filter protects the fine membrane from particulate fouling
- Holdup volume of 100µL minimizing loss of valuable biological samples
- Dual Luer-Lok/Luer Slip compatibility, accommodating various syringe types
SF15016 syringe filters maintain controlled flow rates of 12ml through a 4.08cm² active membrane area, balancing ultrafiltration efficiency with your processing time requirements. A bubble point of 37.71psi validates membrane integrity for critical viral clearance applications requiring documented performance verification. Autoclave sterilization at 121°C for 30 minutes or gamma irradiation protocols provide flexibility in meeting your facility's sterilization standards.
