Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18225

Pharmaceutical laboratories often encounter particulate contamination when processing high-volume organic samples. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.45 µm pore size address this by providing robust clarification for aggressive solvents. The membrane chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohol for aqueous applications but functions immediately with organic fluids. A large 30mm diameter housing incorporates an integrated polypropylene prefilter to capture coarse debris effectively. Users benefit from rapid flow rates of 39 ml/min, which significantly reduces processing time for batches exceeding 100 mL. Sterile packaging ensures that the device introduces no initial bioburden during critical filtration steps.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic surface requires pre-wetting with methanol or isopropanol before aqueous sample filtration to optimize flow characteristics
0.45 µm pore size removes particulates from analytical samples to protect chromatography instrumentation without sterile-grade bacterial retention
Exceptional chemical resistance maintains compatibility with aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons
High flow rates enable the rapid processing of viscous or particulate-laden organic samples to improve laboratory efficiency
Sterile packaging eliminates initial contamination risks for sensitive analytical samples to support quality assurance requirements

Key Construction Characteristics

Integrated polypropylene prefilter captures coarse particulates upstream of the primary membrane to extend filter lifetime
Polypropylene housing provides structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure for operational confidence
Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate standard laboratory syringes without adapters to streamline workflow integration
100 µL holdup volume minimizes loss of valuable pharmaceutical compounds and analytical standards to maximize recovery

Streamline your analytical clarification workflows with a filtration solution designed for chemical durability and speed. You can process challenging solvent mixtures without pausing to replace clogged filters thanks to the high-capacity prefilter. Validated chemical resistance ensures compatibility with chlorinated compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons commonly used in chromatography. Secure Luer-Lok connections prevent hazardous leaks during the manual filtration of toxic or valuable samples. Rely on this gamma-sterilized technology to maintain the integrity of your pharmaceutical extracts and quality control standards. Consistent particle removal protects downstream instrumentation from costly maintenance and downtime.
