PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 17mm, Luer-Lok/Luer Slip, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF15615

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF15615

Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology features a 0.45 µm pore size and integrated polypropylene prefilter. The PVDF, 17mm Syringe Filters deliver clarification performance for analytical chemistry applications requiring particulate removal. The design handles organic and aqueous solvent systems without bacterial retention specifications. Such a configuration enables reliable processing of small-volume samples. Chemical resistance spans acids, bases, and diverse organic compounds. A compact design with 1.65 cm² filtration area and 20 µL holdup volume optimizes sample recovery. Users can process volumes between 1-20 ml for chromatography preparation and quality control workflows.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic surface chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohols or compatible organic solvents before aqueous sample processing, optimizing performance for HPLC mobile phases
• Broad chemical resistance maintains compatibility with aggressive solvents, including chlorinated compounds, alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons across analytical workflows
• 0.45 µm pore size removes particulates and clarifies analytical samples for liquid chromatography applications, protecting downstream instrumentation 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
• Autoclave compatibility at 121°C with gamma sterilization capability provides contamination control options for sensitive analytical and research laboratory applications

Key Construction Characteristics

• 20 µL holdup volume minimizes loss of valuable analytical compounds and research materials, maximizing recovery for small-volume sample processing applications
• Polypropylene housing provides structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C, ensuring reliable performance across laboratory conditions
• Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connection compatibility accommodates standard syringes without adapters, streamlining workflow integration into existing analytical instrument configurations
• Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane lifetime by capturing coarse particles upstream, reducing filter consumption costs in high-particulate sample environments

Analytical laboratories processing small-volume organic samples require clarification technology. It must combine chemical resistance with efficient particulate removal and minimal holdup. PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.45 µm clarification performance with broad solvent compatibility. Engineered for demanding analytical workflows, the membrane technology provides operational excellence. Validated chemical stability and compact design ensure sample conservation. Integrated prefilter protection supports routine chromatography preparation and quality control applications.
