Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SPEC18221

Highly turbid samples containing heavy particulate loads often create significant processing bottlenecks when fine filters clog rapidly. Such issues force you to interrupt workflows for frequent filter changes, driving up operational costs significantly. Nonsterile 5.0 µm PVDF syringe filters deliver economical gross prefiltration with exceptional chemical resistance and autoclave compatibility. The compact 20mm ABS housing features a threaded double Luer Lock connection for secure attachment. It provides cost-effective coarse particle removal for viscous formulations and environmental samples. Users benefit from sterilization flexibility, reducing overall expenses in chemical processing environments.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic surface chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohol before processing aqueous samples, but allows direct filtration of organic solvents
• Coarse 5.0 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
• Extended temperature stability to 80°C accommodates warm sample filtration and autoclave sterilization cycles without degradation

Key Construction Characteristics

• Threaded double Luer Lock connections secure both inlet and outlet ports to eliminate disconnection risks
• Durable ABS housing withstands operating pressures to 72.5 psi providing mechanical strength for demanding protocols
• Nonsterile construction allows for autoclave sterilization before first use providing economical prefiltration capability
• 20mm diameter platform supports medium-volume clarification balancing processing capacity with material economy

Overcome your prefiltration challenges where heavily turbid samples compromise downstream filter performance and drive up expenses. PVDF's gross filtration capacity combined with autoclave compatibility delivers economical equipment protection for your lab. Nonsterile units become sterile-ready after autoclaving to suit your specific protocols. Users gain the chemical resistance and coarse particle removal needed to extend fine filter life significantly. Reduced replacement frequency ensures consistent sample preparation across pharmaceutical and environmental applications. Ultimately, the robust design supports workflows where prefiltration economics determine purchasing decisions.

Hydrophobic

• Viscous Sample Prefiltration - Handle high-viscosity pharmaceutical formulations where large pores maintain flow rates without premature clogging
• Environmental Sample Processing - Prefilter turbid soil extracts and water samples, removing coarse suspended solids before fine filtration
• Chemical Manufacturing - Process particulate-laden intermediates where solvent resistance maintains membrane performance
• Biological Sample Clarification - Remove large cellular debris from lysates and homogenates before fine filtration, protecting downstream membranes
• Equipment Protection - Guard sensitive analytical instrumentation from coarse particulates that damage pumps, detectors, and columns
• Quality Control Prefiltration - Prepare heavily particulate samples where autoclave sterilization provides contamination control at lower cost
