Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF15617
Pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories demand clarification technology capable of processing high-volume organic samples. Chemical resistance must withstand aggressive solvents while maintaining efficient flow rates. Advanced polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particulate removal. It functions across diverse solvent systems through hydrophobic surface chemistry. The 30mm diameter configuration features a 4.9 cm² filtration area. It enables efficient clarification of volumes exceeding 100 ml. The design suits manufacturing and analytical testing applications requiring high-throughput processing.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic nature requires pre-wetting with alcohols or compatible organic solvents before aqueous filtration, optimizing performance for HPLC mobile phase clarification
- 0.45 µm pore size removes particulates from analytical samples for chromatography applications, protecting downstream instrumentation without providing sterile-grade filtration
- Exceptional chemical resistance ensures stable operation with aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds, ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons
- Naturally hydrophobic surface enables air and gas venting applications, efficiently displacing air from liquid handling systems where hydrophilic membranes would block gas passage
- Rapid throughput with a 39 ml/min flow rate reduces processing time for high-volume samples, improving workflow efficiency in manufacturing environments
Key Construction Characteristics
- 100 µL holdup volume minimizes loss of valuable pharmaceutical compounds and analytical standards, maximizing recovery for high-volume clarification applications
- Polypropylene housing construction provides structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure, delivering reliable performance for pressurized filtration systems
- Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections integrate seamlessly with standard laboratory syringes without adapters, streamlining workflow integration into existing equipment
- Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane lifetime by capturing coarse particulates upstream, reducing filter consumption in high-particulate sample environments
