PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.22um, 30mm, Luer-Lok/Luer Slip, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SF18224

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18224

Sterile filtration of large-volume organic solvents presents unique challenges for pharmaceutical laboratories. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.22 µm pore size solve this by offering validated bacterial retention alongside chemical durability. The integrated polypropylene prefilter prevents premature clogging when processing particle-laden fluids. A robust 30mm housing enables the efficient sterilization of volumes exceeding 100 mL without leakage. Operators must pre-wet the membrane with alcohol to facilitate the flow of aqueous solutions. Gamma-sterilized packaging ensures that every unit is ready for immediate deployment in critical aseptic areas.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic surface requires pre-wetting with alcohols before aqueous processing, but allows direct filtration of organic solvents
Validated 0.22 µm pore size provides sterile-grade retention to ensure microbial elimination for pharmaceutical manufacturing
Exceptional chemical resistance withstands aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds and ketones
High structural integrity preserves membrane performance under pressure, making it ideal for the sterile venting of bioreactors
Sterile packaging eliminates initial contamination risks for aseptic transfer procedures, supporting GMP compliance

Key Construction Characteristics

Optimized 100 µL holdup volume maximizes yield by reducing sample retention within the housing
Polypropylene housing provides structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C
Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate standard laboratory syringes without adapters
Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane lifetime while eliminating contamination risks for high-volume processing

Enhance your sterile manufacturing workflows with a filtration solution built for chemical resilience and efficiency. You can process aggressive organic formulations without worrying about membrane degradation or extractables. The large filtration area significantly reduces the force required to push samples through the syringe. Validated bacterial retention safeguards your sensitive pharmaceutical products from microbial contamination. Secure Luer-Lok connections prevent hazardous spills during the manual filtration of toxic solvents. The pre-sterilized technology helps maintain the highest standards of purity and compliance in your regulated environment.
