Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SPEC18224
Featuring 1.0µm hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane construction with validated 1.45psi bubble point in sterile compact 20mm ABS housing, this syringe filter delivers contamination-free coarse prefiltration for small-volume turbid samples requiring chemical resistance. Gamma-irradiated integrity provides ready-to-use processing without autoclave requirements. Space-efficient design with threaded double luer lock connection and 72.5psi operating pressure supports pharmaceutical manufacturing, biological sample processing, and environmental testing where compact prefiltration combines with broad solvent compatibility and sterile operation.
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 performance 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 your multi-stage filtration workflows
- Ultra-low protein binding preserves biomolecule concentrations during coarse prefiltration, preventing adsorptive losses that compromise recovery in your biological sample preparation protocols
- Temperature tolerance to 80°C supports elevated-temperature sample processing while maintaining chemical compatibility across diverse laboratory operational conditions
Key Construction Characteristics
- ABS housing delivers chemical resistance to common organic solvents while providing mechanical durability for manual filtration operations in routine sample preparation
- Threaded double luer lock connection creates secure, leak-proof attachment to syringes and tubing systems, preventing sample loss during processing workflows
- 72.5psi maximum operating pressure supports manual syringe filtration and compatibility with low-pressure pumping systems for continuous processing applications
- Sterile gamma-irradiated packaging provides contamination-free prefiltration without requiring autoclave sterilization, streamlining workflows in pharmaceutical and biotechnology cleanroom environments
When your laboratory processes turbid samples in space-constrained environments where compact sterile prefiltration protects downstream equipment, coarse particle removal determines operational efficiency. PVDF's chemical versatility handles the challenging matrices your workflows generate. Sterile individually-wrapped units maintain your contamination control protocols while delivering the solvent resistance and prefiltration capacity that extend fine filter life, reduce replacement frequency, and ensure consistent sample preparation across demanding pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and environmental applications.
