PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.22um, 17mm, Luer-Lok/Luer Slip, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF18223

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18223

Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities often struggle with filtration materials that degrade under harsh organic solvents. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters provide a durable solution by combining broad chemical compatibility with absolute bacterial retention. The 0.22 µm pore size ensures sterile effluent for critical drug formulations and mobile phases. A compact 17mm diameter housing minimizes sample loss, making it ideal for processing small volumes under 10 mL. Users must pre-wet the membrane with alcohol before filtering aqueous solutions to establish flow. The sterile packaging allows for immediate deployment in aseptic workflows requiring strict contamination control.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
