Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SPEC18215
Laboratories processing viscous or turbid organic samples often require robust prefiltration solutions to prevent rapid clogging issues. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 3.0 µm pore size provide effective coarse clarification for these challenging fluids. The membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous fluids but processes organic solvents immediately. A secure Double Luer Lock connection prevents disconnection risks when handling hazardous liquids under pressure. Validated gamma-sterilized packaging guarantees aseptic conditions for critical applications. The 25mm housing efficiently processes medium-volume samples ranging from 10 to 100 mL.
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 resistance maintains compatibility with aggressive organic solvents, including chlorinated compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons
- Naturally hydrophobic surface enables gas venting applications by efficiently displacing air from liquid handling systems
- Sterile packaging eliminates initial contamination risks for sensitive analytical samples to support quality assurance requirements
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing delivers chemical compatibility with aggressive organic solvents while providing mechanical strength for demanding operations
- Double Luer Lock connections secure both inlet and outlet ports to eliminate disconnection risks during high-pressure processing
- 72.5 psi maximum operating pressure accommodates manual syringe filtration and integration with peristaltic pumps for continuous applications
- Sterile gamma-irradiated packaging provides contamination-free prefiltration without requiring autoclave sterilization
Enhance your sterile processing workflows with a filtration device built for aggressive chemical environments. You can pre-filter organic solvents and protect gas lines reliably without risking membrane failure. The 3.0 µm pore size ensures effective removal of large particulates to protect downstream systems. Secure Double Luer Lock connections prevent hazardous leaks when filtering toxic fluids under pressure. Rely on gamma-sterilized packaging to support strict quality control protocols in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Consistent performance ensures that your critical processes remain protected from particulate damage.
