Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SPEC18214
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories require coarse prefiltration for particulate-laden samples where high dirt-load capacity prevents premature filter clogging during biological sample processing. Advanced 1.0µm PVDF membrane technology delivers exceptional throughput for turbid samples requiring contamination-free clarification. Sterile gamma-irradiated construction with hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane and polypropylene housing provides ready-to-use prefiltration where chemical resistance and bioburden control both matter for your sample preparation workflows.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting before aqueous processing, activating the surface for consistent flow and preventing air-lock conditions during sample filtration
- Broad chemical compatibility resists degradation from organic solvents, acids, and aggressive reagents, maintaining membrane integrity throughout challenging pharmaceutical and chemical applications
- 1.0µm pore size removes coarse particulates and protects downstream fine filters from premature fouling, extending operational life in multi-stage filtration systems
- Ultra-low protein binding preserves biomolecule concentrations throughout prefiltration, preventing adsorptive losses that compromise recovery in your protein purification and analytical workflows
- Temperature stability up to 80°C supports warm sample processing requirements while maintaining structural integrity across diverse laboratory operational conditions
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing provides chemical resistance to aggressive organic solvents while delivering mechanical strength for manual and automated filtration operations
- Double luer lock connection ensures leak-proof attachment to syringes and tubing, preventing sample loss and contamination during high-throughput processing workflows
- 72.5psi maximum operating pressure accommodates both manual syringe filtration and integration with peristaltic pumps for continuous processing applications
- Sterile gamma-irradiated packaging eliminates bioburden without requiring pre-use sterilization, streamlining workflows in contamination-controlled pharmaceutical and biotechnology environments
Built to support your high-throughput prefiltration workflows where turbid biological samples challenge conventional filters, membrane dirt-load capacity determines operational efficiency. PVDF's 1.0µm pore structure handles particulate-rich matrices your laboratory processes daily. Sterile individually-wrapped units maintain your aseptic processing protocols while delivering the chemical resistance and coarse particle removal that protect downstream equipment, reduce filter changeouts, and ensure consistent sample preparation across demanding pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
