Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF16000
Featuring hydrophobic PTFE membrane technology providing unmatched chemical resistance for high-volume aggressive organic solvent clarification. A 0.45µm pore configuration delivers efficient particulate removal while maintaining complete inertness to concentrated acids, bases, and challenging reagents. Tisch Scientific combines ultra-resistant PTFE membranes with 30mm construction to optimize throughput for production-scale clarification of chemically aggressive samples.
Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous solution compatibility
- Universal chemical resistance withstands all organic solvents, acids, and bases without degradation
- Exceptional thermal stability maintains integrity at 60°C continuous operating conditions
- 0.45µm pore size provides reliable clarification and coarse particulate removal
- Autoclavable construction enables sterilization at 121°C for validated analytical protocols
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing delivers chemical resistance while withstanding 87psi burst pressure
- Dual Luer-Lok/Luer Slip compatibility accommodates all standard syringe configurations
- Large 30mm diameter maximizes filtration area for high-volume sample processing requirements
- 100µl holdup volume minimizes loss when filtering valuable reagents and limited samples
SF16000 syringe filters achieve exceptional 59ml/min flow rates through an expanded 4.9cm² active membrane area, dramatically accelerating your sample processing even with viscous organic solvents. Outstanding 120ml throughput capacity maximizes your laboratory efficiency when filtering challenging matrices requiring chemical resistance. Autoclave compatibility at 121°C transforms nonsterile units into validated sterile filters, providing flexibility for your critical applications demanding both absolute chemical inertness and certified performance specifications.
