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

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18223

Pharmaceutical manufacturing and biotechnology research facilities demand sterile filtration capability that combines absolute bacterial retention with chemical resistance spanning organic solvents, aggressive acids, and challenging mobile phases where traditional hydrophilic membranes fail under harsh analytical conditions. Precision 0.22 µm hydrophobic PVDF membrane engineering delivers this capability. Furthermore, the 17mm compact diameter with gamma-sterilized packaging provides immediate deployment in critical sterile workflows requiring organic solvent compatibility and contamination-free processing assurance.
