Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF15616
Featuring polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.22 µm pore size and an integrated polypropylene prefilter, these 30mm diameter filters deliver sterile-grade filtration for demanding laboratory applications requiring both particle removal and bacterial retention. This combination enables reliable processing of aqueous and organic samples across pharmaceutical and biotechnology workflows. Meanwhile, the dual luer connection system accommodates both Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip syringes, providing flexibility for diverse laboratory equipment configurations while maintaining secure connections throughout filtration procedures.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic nature requires pre-wetting with alcohols or solvents before aqueous sample processing, making these filters ideal for applications starting with organic phases
- Broad chemical compatibility withstands aggressive solvents, acids, and bases while maintaining membrane integrity across pH ranges from 1-14
- 0.22 µm pore size provides sterile filtration by removing bacteria and particles, ensuring microbiologically controlled samples for cell culture and analytical procedures
- Low protein binding characteristics preserve sample integrity by minimizing adsorption of proteins and biomolecules during filtration
- High mechanical strength tolerates operating pressures up to 87 psi, supporting efficient processing of viscous samples and extended filtration runs
Key Construction Characteristics
- 100 µL holdup volume preserves valuable samples by minimizing retention within the filter assembly
- Polypropylene housing maintains stability at temperatures up to 60°C, supporting heated sample processing and autoclave sterilization protocols
- Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip dual compatibility connects with standard laboratory syringes without requiring adapters or specialized equipment
- 4.9 cm² filtration area with polypropylene prefilter extends filter life by removing larger particles before they reach the primary PVDF membrane
Demanding pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories require filtration solutions that deliver both sterile-grade particle removal and chemical resistance across diverse sample types. These PVDF syringe filters combine 0.22 µm bacterial retention with broad solvent compatibility and integrated prefiltration. Built to support your critical quality control and research applications, this filtration technology provides operational confidence through validated performance specifications and dual-connection versatility for streamlined laboratory workflows.
