Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Filters, 5.0µm, 37mm - SF17382
Designed to protect sensitive chromatography columns from clogging, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Filters delivers exceptional retention of particulates without compromising flow rates. Driving this clarification performance is a hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane featuring a verified 5.0 pore structure that captures target particulates while minimizing holdup volume. Further enhancing usability, the robust physical structure of the membrane allows for easy handling and placement into filtration hardware without tearing. Ultimately, this rigorous attention to manufacturing quality ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility, allowing laboratories to standardize their workflows with total confidence.
