Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18245
Advanced 0.22μm PTFE membrane technology with hydrophilic surface modification delivers absolute bacterial retention through validated 43.51psi bubble point specifications, ensuring complete sterile filtration performance for ultra-low volume analytical applications. Ultra-compact 4mm diameter platform provides 0.125cm² precision filtration area optimized for micro-volume processing up to 1ml capacity with controlled 0.7ml flow rates for sensitive sample handling. Precision analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical micro-dosing research, and specialized biological testing applications demand immediate sterile processing of precious micro-samples without dilution or contamination risks. Quality validation protocols confirm membrane integrity through rigorous bubble point testing, while 1μL minimal holdup volume specifications ensure maximum recovery in ultra-low volume workflows where every microliter of sample represents significant value and cannot be sacrificed to dead space losses.
