Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF02225LCMS
When you're preparing samples for LC-MS analysis, background interference from extractables can ruin your results. These 0.22µm hydrophilic PTFE filters minimize contamination with an ultra-low extractables profile that won't introduce background peaks in your mass spectra. The hydrophilic surface processes aqueous samples immediately without alcohol pre-wetting, and the 0.22µm pore size removes bacteria when sterile filtration is required. With 100µL holdup volume and 4.08cm² filtration area, you can process up to 50ml samples while maximizing recovery of precious analytical specimens.
Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics
- 0.22µm sterile-grade filtration removes bacteria with 43.51psi bubble point specification for analytical applications
- Ultra-low extractables profile minimizes background interference in LC-MS analysis for accurate trace detection
- Hydrophilic surface modification eliminates pre-wetting requirements for immediate aqueous sample processing
- Broad chemical compatibility withstands aggressive mobile phases and extraction solvents across analytical methods
- Low protein binding maintains analyte concentrations during sample preparation for biological analyses
Key Construction Characteristics
- 100µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of valuable analytical samples and expensive reagents
- 25mm diameter with 4.08cm² filtration area processes medium-volume samples up to 50ml efficiently
- Luer-Lok/Luer Slip dual connection accommodates all standard laboratory syringe configurations
- Low-extractables polypropylene housing minimizes contamination sources for trace analytical applications
You can autoclave these filters at 121°C for 30 minutes when your protocols require pre-sterilization, or use them directly for clarification and bacterial removal from analytical samples. The 87psi burst pressure handles typical analytical workflows, and the ultra-low extractables profile means you won't see background peaks interfering with your target analytes. Process samples at temperatures up to 60°C, and the 43.51psi bubble point confirms consistent pore structure for reproducible filtration across your analytical runs.
