Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF14455

Analytical laboratories processing organic samples in chromatography workflows face contamination risks from particulate matter that can damage expensive columns and compromise analytical precision, requiring filtration technology that removes particles without introducing extractables or leachables into critical solvent systems. Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size addresses this challenge through hydrophobic surface chemistry that maintains compatibility with aggressive organic solvents while delivering efficient clarification performance. Additionally, the compact 13mm diameter design with 1.09 cm² filtration area and 10 µL holdup volume enables processing of 1-10 ml sample volumes while maximizing recovery of valuable analytical compounds and research materials through minimal retention characteristics.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic nature requires pre-wetting with methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol before aqueous sample filtration, making this membrane ideal for organic mobile phase preparation
Superior chemical resistance withstands aggressive solvents including chlorinated compounds, ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons across diverse analytical chemistry applications
0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particulate removal for sample clarification in HPLC and GC-MS workflows without providing bacterial retention or sterile-grade specifications
Low protein binding characteristics preserve biomolecule concentration during pharmaceutical and biotechnology sample preparation, minimizing adsorption losses in critical assays
Thermal stability to 60°C with autoclave capability at 121°C provides sterilization options for contamination-sensitive analytical and research applications

Key Construction Characteristics

10 µL holdup volume optimizes yield by reducing sample retention within the housing, preserving valuable standards and analytical extracts in low-volume workflows
Polypropylene housing construction delivers reliable performance to 87 psi maximum operating pressure, providing structural integrity for pressurized filtration applications
Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections integrate seamlessly with standard laboratory syringes without adapters, simplifying workflow setup in routine analytical environments
Integrated polypropylene prefilter captures large particulates upstream of the primary membrane, extending filter lifetime and reducing consumption in particulate-laden samples

Laboratories processing small-volume analytical samples require clarification technology that combines broad solvent compatibility with minimal holdup and efficient particle removal. PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.45 µm clarification performance through hydrophobic membrane chemistry and integrated prefilter design. Engineered to overcome your analytical challenges, this filtration solution provides processing confidence via validated chemical resistance, compact design for sample conservation, and low protein binding for chromatography preparation and quality control applications requiring reliable particulate removal without sterile-grade capabilities.
