Hydrophilic PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 13mm, Luer-Lok/Luer Slip, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF17396

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF17396

Featuring hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size and naturally wettable surface chemistry, these 13mm diameter filters deliver clarification performance for aqueous biological samples requiring particulate removal without bacterial retention specifications across pharmaceutical and biotechnology analytical workflows. This membrane enables immediate processing of aqueous samples through surface chemistry that eliminates pre-wetting steps while maintaining low protein binding characteristics essential for biomolecule preservation. Meanwhile, the compact design with 0.92 cm² filtration area and 10 µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of valuable biological materials and analytical standards for HPLC preparation and quality control workflows processing volumes between 1-10 ml.

Key Hydrophilic PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Naturally wettable surface eliminates alcohol pre-wetting requirements for aqueous processing, enabling immediate filtration of biological samples without preparatory solvent steps
• 0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particulate removal for sample clarification in chromatography and biological assay workflows without providing sterile-grade filtration
• Low protein binding affinity preserves biomolecule concentration during analytical sample preparation, minimizing adsorption losses in pharmaceutical and biotechnology testing
• Chemical compatibility resists degradation from biological buffers and mild acids while maintaining stable operation across analytical chemistry applications
• Autoclave compatibility at 121°C with gamma sterilization capability provides contamination control options for sensitive biological and pharmaceutical laboratory applications

Key Construction Characteristics

• 10 µL holdup volume optimizes yield by reducing sample retention within the housing, preserving valuable biological extracts and analytical compounds in low-volume workflows
• Polypropylene housing provides structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C, ensuring reliable performance across laboratory conditions
• Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate standard laboratory syringes without adapters, streamlining workflow integration into existing analytical instrument configurations
• Single-layer membrane design without a prefilter provides direct filtration for clean aqueous samples, reducing holdup volume and maximizing sample recovery

Analytical and biotechnology laboratories processing small-volume aqueous samples require clarification technology that combines rapid processing with minimal protein loss and holdup. Hydrophilic PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.45 µm clarification performance through naturally wettable membrane chemistry and compact design. Designed for your most demanding analytical workflows, this membrane technology provides operational excellence through immediate aqueous sample processing, low protein binding, and minimal holdup volume for chromatography preparation, biological assay sample filtration, and quality control applications requiring reliable particulate removal without bacterial retention capabilities.
