Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SPEC18157
Hydrophilic PTFE at 0.45µm gives you aqueous clarification with PTFE's chemical resistance but without pre-wetting hassles. You skip the alcohol prep entirely—the surface treatment lets you process water-based samples immediately. This gamma-sterilized 25mm format arrives ready for contamination-sensitive work, eliminating preparation delays when clean handling matters. The 4.08cm² filtration area handles standard sample volumes while maintaining rapid flow through biological matrices. For routine aqueous clarification in pharmaceutical and biotechnology labs, you get PTFE's durability in a sterile, ready-to-use aqueous format that simplifies your workflow.
Key Polytetrafluoroethylene Membrane Characteristics
