Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18235

Laboratories handling viscous organic fluids often encounter slow filtration rates and frequent membrane clogging. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 1.0 µm pore size provide a robust solution for clarifying these difficult samples. The membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous solutions but processes aggressive organic solvents immediately. An integrated polypropylene prefilter captures larger particulates upstream to extend the life of the main filter. The 25mm housing handles volumes up to 100 mL efficiently. Sterile packaging ensures that the unit introduces no biological contaminants during critical prefiltration steps.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

Hydrophobic surface chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohol before processing aqueous samples, but allows direct filtration of organic solvents
Coarse 1.0 µm pore size delivers efficient clarification and particle removal for viscous or particulate-laden samples
Exceptional chemical resistance maintains compatibility with aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons
High flow rates enable the rapid processing of difficult organic samples to improve laboratory efficiency and reduce downtime
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
100 µL holdup volume minimizes loss of valuable pharmaceutical compounds and biological materials, optimizing yield
Polypropylene housing delivers structural integrity to 87 psi maximum operating pressure with thermal stability to 60°C
Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections accommodate standard syringes without adapters, streamlining aseptic transfer procedures

Improve your sample preparation throughput with a filtration device built for high-particulate organic applications. You can clarify heavy solvent mixtures rapidly thanks to the 80 ml/min flow rate and coarse pore structure. The hydrophobic chemistry resists degradation from chlorinated compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons. Secure Luer-Lok connections prevent hazardous leaks when applying manual pressure to viscous fluids. Rely on gamma-sterilized packaging to maintain aseptic conditions throughout your laboratory workflow. The robust design protects downstream analytical instruments by effectively removing abrasive debris and undissolved solids.
