Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF14455

Analytical laboratories processing organic samples in chromatography workflows face contamination risks from particulate matter. Particles can damage expensive columns and compromise analytical precision, requiring filtration technology that removes contaminants without introducing extractables. Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size addresses this challenge through hydrophobic surface chemistry. A compact 13mm diameter design with 1.09 cm² filtration area enables efficient processing of 1-10 ml sample volumes. The 10 µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of valuable analytical compounds through minimal retention characteristics.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic nature requires pre-wetting with methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol before aqueous sample filtration, making the 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
• Naturally hydrophobic surface enables air and gas venting applications, efficiently displacing air from liquid handling systems where hydrophilic membranes would block gas passage
• 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. PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.45 µm clarification performance through hydrophobic membrane chemistry and integrated prefilter design. Engineered to overcome your analytical challenges, the SF14455 provides processing confidence via validated chemical resistance and compact design. Low protein binding supports chromatography preparation and quality control applications requiring reliable particulate removal without sterile-grade capabilities.
