Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SPEC18210

Laboratories processing viscous or heavily particulate-laden organic solvents often require coarse prefiltration to prevent rapid clogging. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 3.0 µm pore size provide an effective solution for these challenging fluids. The membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous samples but processes organic solvents immediately. A durable polypropylene housing features double Luer Lock connections to ensure secure attachment at both inlet and outlet. Validated structural integrity withstands burst pressures up to 116 psi and temperatures reaching 80°C. The 25mm diameter platform efficiently handles medium-volume samples ranging from 10 to 100 mL without leakage.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic surface chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohol before processing aqueous samples, but allows direct filtration of organic solvents
• Coarse 3.0 µm pore size delivers efficient clarification and particle removal for heavily loaded samples without bacterial retention
• Exceptional chemical compatibility resists degradation from alcohols, ketones, and esters that destroy standard membrane materials
• Naturally hydrophobic surface enables gas venting applications by efficiently displacing air from liquid handling systems
• Extended temperature stability to 80°C accommodates warm sample filtration and elevated-temperature solvent applications

Key Construction Characteristics

• Robust polypropylene housing withstands operating pressures to 72.5 psi providing mechanical strength for demanding protocols
• Validated 116 psi burst pressure ensures structural integrity during high-pressure filtration operations preventing catastrophic failure
• Double Luer Lock connections secure both inlet and outlet ports to eliminate disconnection risks
• 25mm diameter platform supports medium-volume clarification for samples up to 100 mL balancing capacity with economy

Strengthen your chemical analysis workflows with a filtration device built for aggressive conditions and heavy sediment loads. You can process gross particulates in organic solvents without rapid membrane fouling. The 3.0 µm pore size effectively removes large debris to protect downstream analytical instruments. Double Luer Lock connections eliminate the risk of disconnection when handling hazardous fluids under pressure. The hydrophobic chemistry supports specialized applications like air venting and gas stream protection. Consistent performance at elevated temperatures ensures reliability during demanding protocols. Rely on this robust configuration for secure and efficient sample preparation.
