PTFE Vent Filters, 0.22um, 50mm, Hose Barb, Nonsterile, 100/Pk
GVS SKU: VF50ANPPT002AC01

Featuring a hydrophobic PTFE membrane reinforced with polypropylene, these 50mm inline vent filters deliver fine particulate retention down to a 0.22um pore size while allowing air, gases, and non-aqueous fluids to pass without wetting the membrane. The transparent polypropylene housing is ultrasonically welded for leak-free performance, and 6 to 12mm stepped hose barb connectors on the inlet and outlet make them easy to integrate into inline venting and gas filtration setups. The large 50mm membrane provides a 19.6 cm² filtration area that supports high airflow while maintaining a low pressure drop, supplied nonsterile in a pack of 100.

Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophobic PTFE membrane reinforced with polypropylene resists wetting, making it ideal for air, gas, and non-aqueous fluid filtration
• 0.22um pore size provides fine particulate and microbial retention for sterile venting and gas applications
• Broad chemical compatibility allows use across a wide range of aggressive solvents and gases
• 50mm membrane diameter delivers a 19.6 cm² filtration area for greater throughput and high air flow
• Reusable and autoclavable, with a maximum operating pressure of 3.5 bar

Key Construction Characteristics

• Transparent polypropylene housing, ultrasonically welded for leak-free performance
• 6 to 12mm stepped hose barb connectors on inlet and outlet
• Housing length 53mm, housing diameter 63mm
• Autoclavable at 121°C or sterilizable by EtO, up to 10 times
• Supplied nonsterile, 100 filters per pack

These vent filters maintain reliable barrier protection and consistent airflow throughout repeated use, helping preserve sample and system integrity. The combination of a hydrophobic PTFE membrane and chemically resistant polypropylene housing provides dependable performance in venting, gas sterilization, and particulate removal applications.

Wettability

Hydrophobic

• Sterile Venting Provides a hydrophobic barrier for venting filling vessels, carboys, and other containers while preventing airborne contamination.
• Autoclave Venting Allows pressure equalization during autoclave cycles while retaining particulates and microorganisms.
• Inline Gas Filtration Delivers inline sterilization and particulate removal from air and gases at 0.22um.
• Fermenter and Bioreactor Venting Supports high air flow with low pressure drop for venting of fermenters and bioreactors.
• Non-Aqueous Fluid Filtration Suited to low-volume sterile filtration of non-aqueous fluids thanks to the hydrophobic PTFE membrane.
• Gas Purification Removes particulates from process and laboratory gas streams while maintaining broad chemical compatibility.
