Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18033
Laboratories processing viscous samples and particulate-laden solutions in organic solvents face premature membrane clogging that reduces throughput and increases filtration costs, requiring prefiltration technology that removes coarse particles while maintaining chemical resistance across aggressive solvent systems without compromising flow rates or sample integrity. Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.8 µm pore size addresses this challenge through open pore structure that enables high-flow processing of demanding samples while withstanding chlorinated compounds, ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Additionally, the 25mm diameter design with 4.08 cm² filtration area and rapid 280 ml/min flow rate enables efficient processing of 10-100 ml sample volumes, reducing filtration time for routine prefiltration applications protecting downstream instrumentation and analytical columns from particulate damage.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic nature requires pre-wetting with methanol or isopropanol before aqueous sample filtration, making this membrane ideal for organic solvent prefiltration
- 0.8 µm pore size removes coarse particles and debris from samples requiring prefiltration before finer filtration stages or analytical instrumentation
- Superior chemical resistance stable operation with aggressive organic solvents including chlorinated compounds, alcohols, esters, and hydrocarbons across industrial workflows
- Low protein binding characteristics minimize adsorption during sample preparation, preserving biomolecule concentration in pharmaceutical and biotechnology prefiltration applications
- Rapid throughput with 280 ml/min flow rate reduces processing time for high-volume samples, accelerating workflow efficiency in manufacturing environments
Key Construction Characteristics
- 100 µL holdup volume minimizes loss of valuable analytical compounds and research materials, maximizing recovery for medium-volume prefiltration applications
- Polypropylene housing construction provides structural integrity to 87 psi burst pressure, delivering operational confidence for pressurized filtration systems
- Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections integrate seamlessly with standard laboratory syringes without adapters, simplifying workflow setup in routine processing
- 4.08 cm² filtration area enables efficient processing of particulate-laden samples, reducing filter consumption and operational costs in high-throughput environments
Industrial and analytical laboratories processing viscous or particulate-laden samples require prefiltration technology that combines high flow rates with chemical resistance and coarse particle removal. PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.8 µm prefiltration performance through open pore membrane structure and hydrophobic chemistry. Engineered to overcome your sample preparation challenges, this filtration solution provides processing confidence via validated chemical stability, rapid throughput characteristics, and low protein binding for manufacturing quality control, environmental testing, and analytical applications requiring efficient coarse particle removal without fine filtration or bacterial retention capabilities.
