Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18233
Laboratories handling large volumes of viscous biological fluids often face slow filtration rates and premature clogging. Hydrophilic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.45 µm pore size solve this by providing rapid clarification without alcohol pre-wetting. The large 33mm housing includes an integrated polypropylene prefilter to capture coarse debris effectively. A high effective filtration area of 4.9 cm² enables the processing of volumes exceeding 100 mL. Researchers benefit from the low-binding membrane chemistry which preserves the concentration of proteins in dilute samples. Validated sterile packaging ensures that the device introduces no contamination during critical workflows.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally wettable hydrophilic surface eliminates methanol or isopropanol pre-wetting steps, enabling immediate aqueous sample filtration
- 0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particle removal and clarification for biological fluids and pharmaceutical solutions
- Low protein-binding characteristics minimize the adsorption of biomolecules to preserve concentration in dilute samples
- Broad chemical compatibility allows for the safe filtration of various solvents, acids, and bases without degradation
- Sterile packaging eliminates initial contamination risks for sensitive analytical samples to support quality assurance requirements
Key Construction Characteristics
- Integrated polypropylene prefilter captures coarse particulates upstream of the primary membrane to extend filter lifetime
- 100 µL holdup volume maximizes yield for medium-volume sterile processing applications optimizing sample recovery
- Polypropylene housing delivers structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C
- Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate standard syringes without adapters streamlining aseptic transfer procedures
Maximize your laboratory throughput with a filtration solution designed for difficult aqueous samples. You can process particulate-laden buffers and media efficiently thanks to the high-capacity prefilter design. The naturally wettable membrane ensures immediate flow and robust particle retention for analytical applications. Secure Luer-Lok connections prevent hazardous leaks when filtering valuable or toxic solutions under pressure. Rely on gamma-sterilized packaging to maintain aseptic conditions throughout your sample preparation routine. The durable polypropylene housing withstands operating pressures up to 87 psi, ensuring reliable performance across diverse bioprocessing tasks.
