Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SPEC18167

Laboratory challenges with coarse particle removal and pre-filtration processing demand reliable solutions that maintain sample integrity while providing rapid throughput. Featuring advanced hydrophilic PTFE membrane technology at 5.0μm pore size, this filter addresses critical workflow bottlenecks in analytical sample preparation where gross filtration and downstream equipment protection are paramount. Enhanced surface treatment ensures immediate wetting without pre-conditioning protocols, accelerating laboratory operations while delivering consistent performance across diverse sample matrices.

Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophilic Surface Treatment - Pre-wetted membrane eliminates preparation steps and enables immediate aqueous sample processing
• Aggressive Chemical Resistance - Withstands harsh solvents, acids, and bases that compromise alternative membrane materials
• 5.0μm Precision Pores - Optimized for large particle removal and coarse filtration applications requiring high dirt-loading capacity
• Minimal Protein Adsorption - Low surface energy maintains protein concentrations in biological samples and assays
• Temperature Stability - Maintains structural integrity and filtration performance up to 80°C operating conditions

Key Construction Characteristics

• 20mm Diameter Configuration - Provides 314mm² filtration area for efficient processing of small to medium volume samples
• ABS Housing with 80°C Rating - Chemical-resistant construction ensures reliable performance under elevated temperature processing
• Double Luer Lock Connection - Secure threaded interface prevents disconnection during high-pressure applications up to 72.5psi
• Sterile Packaging - Individually sterilized units eliminate contamination risks in microbiological and cell culture applications

Engineered for your most demanding pre-filtration challenges, this hydrophilic PTFE system combines 116psi burst pressure safety margins with rapid processing capabilities. Your laboratory workflows benefit from immediate sample processing without pre-wetting requirements, while the robust ABS housing ensures consistent performance across extended analytical campaigns and temperature-variable applications.
