Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18247
When you're working with microliter volumes of precious samples, every drop counts. These 1.0µm PTFE filters combine just 1µl holdup volume with broad chemical resistance for aggressive solvents, acids, and bases. The 4mm diameter removes fine particles from your expensive reagents and analytical standards while pre-sterilized packaging ensures contamination-free handling. Polypropylene housing withstands pressures up to 87psi across diverse solvent systems.
Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic membrane design effectively filters organic solvents, acids, and bases without chemical interaction
- 1.0µm pore size removes fine particles and suspended solids from microscale sample volumes
- Pre-sterilized by gamma irradiation ensures contamination-free handling for critical laboratory applications
- Exceptional chemical resistance from strong carbon-fluorine bonds maintains stability in caustic environments
- Membrane thickness of 80-140µm optimizes retention efficiency while maintaining flow for ultra-small volumes
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing ensures broad chemical compatibility with organic and inorganic solvents
- Microscale 4mm diameter with 0.125cm² filtration area, ideal for ultra-low volume sample clarification
- 1µl holdup volume maximizes recovery of expensive or irreplaceable microscale samples
- Luer-Lok/Luer Slip dual connection compatibility works with precision syringes and microvolume systems
You recover virtually all of your precious samples with just 1µl holdup volume - critical when working with expensive standards or irreplaceable analytical samples. Pre-sterilized packaging means contamination-free handling right out of the package without autoclaving preparation. The 4.35psi bubble point confirms consistent pore structure across production lots, and you can process samples at temperatures up to 60°C while maintaining the chemical resistance PTFE is known for.
