LabExact PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10054

Gas and vent service calls for a hydrophobic syringe filter rated to the same sterilizing-grade pore size as its liquid counterpart. The PVDF membrane tolerates common chromatography solvents without degradation while stopping bacteria at its finest sub-micron ratings and blocks aqueous ingress in venting applications. The polypropylene housing presses snugly against the membrane during the pass while standing firm against aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols during regular handling and sustains efficient flow on viscous samples. No separate sterilization cycle is needed when the gas path already runs through a validated sterile-grade membrane.

Membrane Characteristics

• Chemical compatibility spans the full pH 1 to 14 range
• Resistance to hydrolytic degradation exceeds that of nylon membranes
• Limiting oxygen index runs high, supporting flame resistance and low smoke
• Ethylene oxide sterilization cycles leave pore integrity and flow performance intact
• Cast membrane structure releases no fibers, unlike depth-media prefilters

Housing Characteristics

• Minimal intrinsic autofluorescence from the polypropylene housing supports background-sensitive fluorescence-based assay work downstream
• Low moisture absorption keeps the housing dimensionally stable through humid storage and shipping
• Each housing is factory-sterilized and sealed individually to maintain sterility through the supply chain
• The seal formed against the membrane blocks bypass at rated operating pressure

A filter that softens or swells in your solvent fails you mid-run, batch after batch. Solvent-stream filtration handles the solvents and reagents your methods rely on from initial prep through final use.

• Dissolution Testing - Removes undissolved particles from timed USP 711 dissolution aliquots, preventing skewed potency and release results.
• Culture Vessel Filling - Equalizes pressure in sealed culture vessels by venting displaced air, keeping fill and drain lines fully closed.
• QuEChERS Extract Prep - Removes co-extracted waxes and pigments from QuEChERS extracts, protecting GC-MS and LC-MS systems during pesticide testing.
• Vial and Tubing Venting - Blocks liquid while venting sealed vials and tubing lines, keeping pressure equalized during fluid transfer steps.
• Bioreactor Vent Protection - Repels water while venting bioreactors and fermenters, keeping process air and gases moving freely through the line.
• Sterile Tank Venting - Blocks aqueous ingress on storage tanks and carboys, letting sterile air and gas pass through the vent line.
