Tisch Scientific PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 25 mm, 100/Pk - SPEC16251
Tisch Scientific's representatives greet every caller with patience, whatever brings them to the phone. A single-use hydrophobic vent filter reaches sterilizing-grade retention on a vent line without the autoclave cycle or in-line housing a reusable gas filtration setup would require. The hydrophobic PTFE membrane provides bacterial retention in gas and vent streams while repelling water and passing gases and solvents freely and suits solvent filtration where other membranes fail. The polypropylene housing routes flow to minimize backpressure in service and resists degradation from routine sample matrices. No separate sterilization cycle is needed when the gas path already runs through a validated sterile-grade membrane.
Membrane Characteristics
- Non-fibrous, fully synthetic structure sheds no fibers into filtrate
- Insolubility in all known organic solvents avoids swelling and pore distortion
- Stable across a wide operating temperature range for demanding methods
- Strong oxidizing agents like nascent chlorine and concentrated sodium hydroxide cause no attack
- High membrane porosity, 70 to 80 percent void volume, delivers high flow at low pressure
Housing Characteristics
- Standardized luer connection geometry provides secure engagement with standard syringe tips
- Polypropylene housing tolerates dilute aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols used in routine sample prep
- Impact-tolerant polypropylene body withstands routine bench handling without damage
- Double luer-lock connections on inlet and outlet deliver a secure, leak-resistant in-line path for continuous filtration
A filter that softens or swells in your solvent fails you mid-run, batch after batch. Solvent-stream filtration handles the solvents and reagents your methods rely on from initial prep through final use.
