Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SPEC18223
Laboratories handling small-volume organic solvent samples often require compact sterile clarification solutions. Hydrophobic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.45 µm pore size provide robust particle removal for chemical fluids. The membrane requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous liquids but processes organic mixtures immediately. A sterile 20mm ABS housing features threaded double Luer Lock connections to ensure secure attachment. The secure design prevents leaks when processing hazardous fluids under pressure. Validated gamma-sterilization ensures contamination-free handling for critical applications. Researchers rely on this compact design for chemically aggressive environments.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic surface chemistry requires pre-wetting with alcohol before processing aqueous samples, but allows direct filtration of organic solvents
- 0.45 µm pore size delivers reliable particle removal and clarification 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 elevated-temperature solvent applications
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
- Sterile gamma-irradiated packaging provides contamination-free clarification without requiring pre-use sterilization
- 20mm diameter platform supports medium-volume clarification balancing processing capacity with material economy
