Featuring a hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with a 0.22um pore size, this 13mm syringe filter delivers reliable particulate removal and clarification of aggressive organic solvents, acids, and gases. The 0.76 cm² effective filtration area combined with a low holdup volume of under 50 microliters maximizes sample recovery while minimizing dead volume. An ultrasonically welded, transparent polypropylene housing with a Female Luer Lock inlet and Male Luer Slip outlet provides a leak-resistant fit across a broad range of syringes.
Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophobic membrane ideal for filtering organic solvents, acids, bases, and gases
- 0.22um pore size for fine particulate removal and clarification
- Outstanding chemical compatibility with aggressive and non-aqueous solutions
- 0.76 cm² effective filtration area supports efficient throughput
- Each filter labeled with membrane material and pore size for easy identification
Key Construction Characteristics
- Transparent polypropylene housing, ultrasonically welded for integrity
- 13mm membrane diameter with 18mm housing diameter
- Female Luer Lock inlet and Male Luer Slip outlet (Luer-Lok/Luer Slip)
- Nonsterile, supplied 100 per pack
- Holdup volume under 50 microliters, maximum operating temperature 90°C, maximum operating pressure 80 psi
This filter maintains sample integrity by isolating particulates without introducing extractables that compromise downstream analysis. Its hydrophobic PTFE chemistry withstands harsh solvents that degrade other membranes, while the welded polypropylene housing resists bypass and leakage under pressure. The result is consistent, reproducible filtration for analytical and laboratory workflows.
