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

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF15615

Featuring polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size and integrated polypropylene prefilter, these 17mm diameter filters deliver clarification performance for analytical chemistry applications requiring particulate removal across organic and aqueous solvent systems without bacterial retention specifications. This configuration enables reliable processing of small-volume samples through chemical resistance spanning acids, bases, and diverse organic compounds. Meanwhile, the compact design with 1.65 cm² filtration area and 20 µL holdup volume optimizes sample recovery for chromatography preparation and quality control workflows processing volumes between 1-20 ml.

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
Low protein binding affinity preserves biomolecule integrity during sample preparation, minimizing adsorption losses in pharmaceutical and biotechnology analytical testing
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 that combines chemical resistance with efficient particulate removal and minimal holdup. PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.45 µm clarification performance with broad solvent compatibility and low protein binding. Designed for your most demanding analytical workflows, this membrane technology provides operational excellence through validated chemical stability, compact design for sample conservation, and integrated prefilter protection for routine chromatography preparation and quality control applications requiring reliable clarification without bacterial retention capabilities.
