Polypropylene (PP) Membrane Filters, 5.0µm, 125mm - SF14885
In high-throughput analytical laboratories, the Polypropylene (PP) Membrane Filters, 5.0um, 125mm, Nonsterile, 25/Pk series establishes a standard for effective particulate removal and sample clarification. Facilitating rapid sample turnover, the hydrophobic Polypropylene (PP) membrane structure ensures the 5.0 rating remains consistent even under pressure. To ensure experimental consistency, the high-quality material provides uniform flow and predictable retention rates across the entire surface area. Consequently, by reducing the risk of downstream contamination, these filters serve as a critical safeguard for the integrity of your experimental results.
Key Polypropylene (PP) Membrane Characteristics
- Polypropylene (PP) membrane with hydrophobic affinity
- Low Binding characteristics
- Broad chemical compatibility with organic solvents
- Requires pre-wetting for aqueous solutions
- Verified 5.0 retention rating for clarification
When you integrate these filters into your daily standard operating procedures, you are choosing a workflow that prioritizes efficiency without compromising results. You invest significant resources into your samples; safeguarding them with a proven filtration barrier is a cost-effective insurance policy for your lab. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.
