Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18234
Industrial and pharmaceutical laboratories demand gross filtration technology capable of processing highly viscous samples and particulate-laden solutions with exceptional flow rates while maintaining chemical resistance across organic solvent systems and aggressive chemical environments encountered in manufacturing quality control and sample preparation workflows. Advanced polyvinylidene fluoride membrane technology with 3.0 µm pore size and sterile packaging delivers large particle removal through open pore structure enabling rapid 100 ml/min flow rates that dramatically reduce processing time for challenging sample matrices. Furthermore, the 25mm diameter configuration with 4.08 cm² filtration area enables efficient gross filtration of 10-100 ml sample volumes, making this design ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing and industrial testing applications requiring high-throughput prefiltration with contamination-free handling before downstream fine filtration or analytical testing stages.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic surface requires pre-wetting with alcohols or compatible organic solvents before aqueous processing, optimizing performance for organic sample gross filtration
- 3.0 µm pore size removes large particles and gross debris from samples requiring prefiltration before finer filtration stages or analytical instrumentation
- Exceptional chemical resistance maintains compatibility with aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds, alcohols, ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons across workflows
- Low protein binding characteristics minimize adsorption during prefiltration, preserving biomolecule concentration in pharmaceutical sample preparation applications
- Sterile packaging eliminates initial contamination risks for aseptic prefiltration procedures, supporting GMP compliance requirements in pharmaceutical environments
Key Construction Characteristics
- 100 µL holdup volume minimizes loss of valuable pharmaceutical compounds and analytical standards, maximizing recovery for medium-volume gross filtration applications
- Polypropylene housing delivers structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure, providing operational confidence for pressurized prefiltration systems
- Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate standard syringes without adapters, streamlining aseptic workflow integration in pharmaceutical processing
- Integrated polypropylene prefilter with sterile packaging captures even larger particulates upstream, protecting the primary membrane from sample matrix variability
