Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18034
Precision 1.0 µm hydrophobic PVDF membrane construction delivers robust prefiltration performance. It features a validated 1.45 psi bubble point and 116 psi burst pressure. The filter handles aggressive organic solvents and specialized air venting applications. Air displacement and sample clarification benefit from exceptional chemical resistance. A polypropylene housing rated to 80°C and 72.5 psi withstands demanding sample matrices. Chemical compatibility determines processing success in these scenarios.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic 1.0 µm PVDF membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting before aqueous sample processing, enabling air displacement and solvent filtration applications unavailable to hydrophilic membranes
- Exceptional chemical resistance withstands aggressive organic solvents including alcohols, ketones, esters, and halogenated hydrocarbons, supporting sample preparation workflows
- Naturally hydrophobic surface enables air and gas venting applications, efficiently displacing air from liquid handling systems where hydrophilic membranes would block gas passage
- Extended temperature stability to 80°C accommodates warm sample processing and thermal solvent applications that exceed the limits of temperature-sensitive membrane materials
- 1.0 µm pore size removes coarse particulates from organic and aqueous samples, providing prefiltration protection for downstream analytical equipment and finer membranes
Key Construction Characteristics
- Durable polypropylene housing withstands operating pressures to 72.5 psi and temperatures to 80°C, providing mechanical strength across diverse sample processing conditions
- Validated 116 psi burst pressure ensures structural integrity under high-pressure filtration conditions, preventing membrane failure when protocols demand robust construction
- Luer Lock and Luer Slip connections deliver universal compatibility with standard laboratory syringes, integrating seamlessly into existing sample preparation workflows
- 25mm diameter platform provides medium-volume filtration capacity for processing 10-100 ml samples where throughput requirements balance with material economy
Engineered to overcome chemical compatibility challenges, hydrophobic PVDF construction delivers reliable performance. Standard membranes often degrade in aggressive solvents. The 25mm platform processes medium-volume samples consistently. Validated burst pressure and temperature stability ensure safety. Users rely on the configuration for organic solvent filtration and air venting.
