Thumbnail Filmstrip of Polypropylene Syringe Filters, 10.0um, 25mm, Double Luer Lock, PP Housing, NS, 100/Pk Images
Polypropylene (PP) Syringe Filters - SPEC18230
Hydrophobic polypropylene at 10.0 µm pore size delivers exceptional flow rates for extremely contaminated organic solvent samples requiring initial screening. This very coarse configuration excels when removing gross debris and large particulates that would instantly clog finer membranes, protecting expensive downstream equipment and analytical instrumentation. You gain maximum throughput with minimal pressure buildup combined with exceptional chemical resistance to aggressive solvents, acids, and bases. The polypropylene housing construction throughout ensures uniform chemical compatibility from inlet to outlet, enabling confident processing of the most challenging sample matrices.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 10.0 µm hydrophobic polypropylene membrane provides the largest pore size for maximum flow rates with extremely contaminated samples
- 4.9 cm² filtration area in the 25mm diameter format handles very high particulate loads without excessive pressure requirements
- Hydrophobic surface properties naturally repel aqueous solutions while allowing organic solvents and non-polar compounds to flow freely
- Maximum operating pressure of 72.5 psi with 116 psi burst rating accommodates even the most challenging sample matrices safely
- Temperature capability to 80°C supports warm solvent filtration and thermal processing requirements across diverse applications
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing throughout delivers consistent chemical compatibility matching the membrane for uniform resistance across the assembly
- Double luer lock connections on both inlet and outlet provide secure, leak-free operation during manual and automated processing
- 4.9 cm² filtration area in 25mm diameter configuration balances very high throughput with practical handling for manual operations
- Nonsterile format arrives autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes or gamma irradiation at 5 kGy for 8 hours when protocols require sterile operation
Your nonsterile filters accommodate gamma irradiation or autoclave sterilization for integration into protocols requiring sterile operation. The 10.0 µm pore size enables unprecedented flow rates even with extremely turbid samples, minimizing processing time while protecting downstream filtration stages from premature fouling. Each filter combines hydrophobic polypropylene's broad chemical compatibility with maximum debris removal capability, though you should avoid extended exposure to esters, hexane, toluene, benzene, and dichloromethane which may compromise performance.
