Polypropylene (PP) Syringe Filters - SPEC18204
Protecting finer membrane stages from premature fouling during aseptic organic solvent processing poses challenges to pharmaceutical operations, as contamination risks are associated with filter preparation procedures. Sterile hydrophobic polypropylene at 1.0 µm pore size solves this problem by providing ready-to-use coarse particle removal that eliminates handling steps. The membrane removes larger particulates efficiently while maintaining chemical compatibility with aggressive solvents, protecting downstream equipment and secondary filtration stages. Your controlled environment workflows benefit from individually packaged sterile filters combined with the broad chemical resistance that polypropylene delivers for demanding prefiltration applications.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 1.0 µm hydrophobic polypropylene membrane removes coarse particulates from organic solvents while naturally resisting aqueous contamination
- 20mm diameter configuration handles routine sample volumes efficiently for aseptic prefiltration operations
- Hydrophobic surface properties naturally shed aqueous solutions while allowing organic solvents and non-polar compounds to flow
- Maximum operating pressure of 72.5 psi with 116 psi burst rating accommodates viscous samples safely during sterile processing
- Temperature rating to 80°C supports warm solvent prefiltration and elevated temperature processing under aseptic conditions
Key Construction Characteristics
- ABS housing material provides structural integrity with chemical resistance suitable for sterile organic solvent applications
- Double luer lock connections on inlet and outlet secure syringes during aseptic operations, preventing disconnection under pressure
- Individual sterile packaging ensures each filter maintains sterility until use, eliminating preparation and handling contamination risks
- 20mm diameter format provides practical throughput for routine aseptic prefiltration of organic solvent samples
Each ready-to-use sterile filter eliminates preparation time while reducing contamination risks inherent in filter handling procedures. The hydrophobic polypropylene membrane maintains structural integrity across diverse organic solvents while providing reliable coarse particle removal. Your pharmaceutical operations benefit from the convenience of individually packaged sterile filters that deliver consistent prefiltration performance without additional processing steps, streamlining aseptic workflows while maintaining the contamination control your protocols demand.
