PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 13mm, Luer-Lok/Luer Slip, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF14461

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF14461

Pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories require clarification technology that can process small-volume organic samples. Chemical resistance must withstand aggressive solvents and harsh pH conditions without compromising the sample. Advanced polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particulate removal across diverse solvent systems. Furthermore, the compact 13mm diameter configuration with 1.09 cm² filtration area enables efficient processing of 1-10 ml sample volumes. The design suits routine analytical workflows requiring clarification performance without bacterial retention specifications.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic surface chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohols or compatible solvents before aqueous sample processing, optimizing performance for organic mobile phases and non-aqueous extracts
• Exceptional chemical resistance maintains compatibility with strong acids, bases, and aggressive organic solvents, including alcohols, hydrocarbons, and chlorinated compounds
• 0.45 µm pore size removes particulates and clarifies samples for HPLC analysis, protecting downstream instrumentation from fouling without providing sterile-grade filtration
• Naturally hydrophobic surface enables air and gas venting applications, efficiently displacing air from liquid handling systems where hydrophilic membranes would block gas passage
• Broad solvent compatibility enables the processing of diverse analytical samples from environmental extracts to industrial chemical formulations across quality control applications

Key Construction Characteristics

• 10 µL holdup volume optimizes yield by minimizing sample retention within the filter housing, preserving valuable analytical standards and research compounds
• Polypropylene housing construction provides structural integrity up to 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C for diverse laboratory conditions
• Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connection compatibility accommodates standard laboratory syringes without adapters, streamlining integration into existing analytical workflows
• Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane lifetime by capturing coarse particulates before they reach the primary filtration layer, reducing filter consumption costs

Analytical laboratories processing low-volume organic samples require clarification technology combining chemical resistance with efficient particulate removal. PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.45 µm clarification performance with broad solvent compatibility. Engineered to overcome analytical challenges, the membrane technology provides workflow efficiency through validated chemical resistance. A compact design supports small-volume processing. Sterile packaging ensures contamination-free sample preparation in routine quality control.
