Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18080
Biotechnology manufacturing, pharmaceutical process development, and clinical research laboratories require precision mycoplasma removal solutions for high-volume samples where particulate protection and submicron retention are equally critical. Advanced laboratory capabilities demand membrane technology that delivers validated 0.1μm mycoplasma retention while managing challenging biological matrices containing high debris loads. Engineered with expanded 33mm architecture combining hydrophilic PTFE membrane chemistry with integrated glass fiber prefilter, this filtration system provides comprehensive protection through dual-layer filtration architecture. Design optimization includes 29psi bubble point validation ensuring absolute 0.1μm retention, 4.9cm² high-capacity filtration area, and 100μL holdup volume supporting 110ml throughput capacity for demanding large-volume sterile processing workflows requiring extended membrane operational life.
