Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18227
Pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories processing micro-volume samples in organic solvents need filtration technology that combines bacterial retention with maximum recovery. When you're working with expensive analytical standards or limited-availability compounds, every microliter matters. Advanced polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 0.22 µm pore size and ultra-low 1 µL holdup volume delivers sterile-grade performance specifically engineered for volumes under 1 mL. The 4mm diameter configuration with sterile packaging gives you contamination-free processing for your most precious samples in pharmaceutical and research applications.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic 0.22 µm pore size provides sterile-grade bacterial retention validated against Brevundimonas diminuta for pharmaceutical-grade microbial control
- Pre-wetting with alcohols or compatible organic solvents activates the membrane for aqueous processing in your micro-volume sterile workflows
- Exceptional chemical resistance handles aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds, alcohols, and aromatic hydrocarbons
- 0.125 cm² filtration area optimizes flow dynamics for micro-volume samples while maintaining validated retention efficiency
- Sterile packaging eliminates initial contamination risks, supporting GMP compliance requirements in pharmaceutical manufacturing
Key Construction Characteristics
- 1 µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of expensive analytical standards and rare research compounds where sample loss is unacceptable
- Polypropylene housing withstands 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C for demanding filtration protocols
- Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate your standard syringes without adapters
- Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane lifetime while maintaining sterile barrier integrity
Sterile micro-volume filtration demands precision engineering carefully matched to your specific workflow requirements in pharmaceutical and analytical laboratory settings. Ready-to-use sterile packaging means you can proceed directly to critical sample processing without additional preparation steps or contamination concerns. The ultra-low holdup volume ensures maximum recovery of your valuable compounds, while validated bacterial retention delivers the microbial control essential for sensitive applications. Your analytical standards and rare research materials deserve filtration technology designed specifically for contamination-free results in demanding laboratory environments.
