Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF17398
Laboratories processing aqueous biological samples in high-throughput environments face specific challenges. Rapid filtration rates must be maintained while preventing membrane fouling from protein-rich solutions. Hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size addresses these issues. Naturally wettable surface chemistry eliminates pre-treatment steps and reduces processing time. An integrated glass fiber prefilter extends membrane life by capturing particulate matter upstream. The dual-layer configuration combines a generous 6.5 cm² filtration area with a 100 µL holdup volume. Users maximize sample recovery for analytical workflows requiring clarification.
Key Hydrophilic PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally wettable surface eliminates alcohol pre-wetting requirements, enabling immediate processing of aqueous samples without preparatory steps or solvent waste
- Broad chemical compatibility withstands organic solvents and aggressive pH conditions while maintaining stable operation across diverse analytical applications
- Low protein binding characteristics preserve biomolecule concentration during filtration, minimizing sample loss in protein assays and biological preparations
- 0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable clarification performance for particulate removal in HPLC mobile phase preparation and sample cleanup procedures
- Superior flow characteristics accelerate processing with a 39 ml/min flow rate, reducing filtration time for routine quality control and research applications
Key Construction Characteristics
