Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18229
Pharmaceutical researchers often encounter workflow bottlenecks when sterilizing medium-volume aqueous solutions. Hydrophilic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.22 µm pore size solve this by offering naturally wettable chemistry for immediate use. Operators can process biological fluids without time-consuming alcohol pre-wetting steps that risk contamination. The 25mm diameter housing supports efficient flow rates for batches ranging from 10 to 100 mL. An integrated polypropylene prefilter prevents premature clogging by capturing larger debris upstream. Validated sterile packaging ensures that every unit maintains the highest standards of aseptic control during critical transfers.
Key Hydrophilic PVDF Membrane Characteristics
