Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters - SPEC18106
Featuring hydrophilic PES membrane technology with a precise 1.0µm pore distribution, SPEC18106 is designed for reliable pre-filtration and clarification in sterile workflows. Bioprocessing laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities utilize these gamma-sterilized filters to clarify cell cultures, buffer solutions, and biological samples, reducing particulate load before downstream sterile filtration. The robust polypropylene housing withstands demanding filtration protocols while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature ranges up to 80°C.
Key Polyethersulfone Membrane Characteristics
- Instant hydrophilic wetting eliminates pre-treatment steps, accelerating workflow efficiency in time-critical protocols
- Precise 1.0µm retention effectively removes yeast cells, large particulates, and cellular debris while allowing proteins to pass freely
- Outstanding chemical resistance maintains membrane integrity when exposed to buffers, culture media, and mild solvents
- Ultra-low protein binding preserves valuable biomolecules throughout clarification and prefiltration procedures
- High dirt-loading capacity extends filter lifetime when processing samples containing moderate particle loads
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing delivers exceptional chemical resistance while supporting 72.5psi operating pressures
- Double Luer Lock connections ensure secure attachment, preventing disconnection during pressurized operations
- 25mm diameter configuration optimizes flow rates for 10-100ml sample volumes in standard laboratory syringes
- Pre-sterilized by gamma irradiation provides immediate use without additional preparation requirements
SPEC18106 filters maximize your sample recovery through optimized flow dynamics and minimal hold-up characteristics essential for precious biological materials. Your laboratory benefits from bulk 100/Pk packaging providing exceptional value while maintaining 116psi burst pressure ratings for reliable performance across demanding applications.
