PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 17mm, Luer-Lok/Luer Slip, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF18222

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18222

Laboratories processing medium-volume organic solvents often require sterilization without compromising flow rates. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.45 µm pore size provide a robust barrier against particulates and microorganisms. The 17mm diameter housing offers an ideal balance between filtration area and hold-up volume for samples up to 10 mL. Users must pre-wet the membrane with alcohol before filtering aqueous solutions to ensure proper flow. Validated sterility makes these filters perfect for critical applications in pharmaceutical and environmental workflows requiring contaminant-free results.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic nature requires pre-wetting with alcohol before processing aqueous samples but allows direct filtration of organic solvents
0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particle removal and clarification for organic mobile phases and aggressive solutions
Broad chemical compatibility resists degradation from chlorinated solvents, acids, and alcohols in demanding analytical protocols
High thermal stability ensures consistent performance during the filtration of elevated temperature samples
Validated sterile manufacturing ensures no microbial contaminants are introduced during the filtration process

Key Construction Characteristics

Compact 17mm housing design minimizes holdup volume to maximize recovery of expensive or limited-volume samples
Polypropylene housing construction handles high operating pressures while maintaining structural integrity during manual filtration
Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections provide secure attachment to standard syringes for leak-free processing
Sterile packaging allows for immediate use in critical aseptic workflows without additional preparation

Streamline your critical sample preparation with filtration technology designed for chemical resistance and sterility. You can process organic solvents and aggressive chemicals confident that the membrane will maintain its integrity. The 0.45 µm pore size effectively clears particulates to protect sensitive analytical columns from clogging. Secure connections ensure safe handling of hazardous fluids during manual pressure application. Rely on the sterile packaging to maintain aseptic conditions for your most sensitive pharmaceutical and environmental samples. Consistent performance reduces rework and ensures high-quality data generation.
