LabExact PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10224
A single-use hydrophobic vent filter reaches sterilizing-grade retention on a vent line without the autoclave cycle or in-line housing a reusable gas filtration setup would require. PVDF provides sterilizing-grade retention at the rated sub-micron pore size while resisting HPLC mobile phases, alcohols, and mild hydrocarbons and blocks aqueous ingress in venting applications. Pre-sterilized polypropylene construction is individually wrapped for direct use in sterile workflows while routing flow to minimize backpressure in service and preserves sample chemistry across the flow path. Downstream equipment and work areas stay protected from airborne bacterial contamination once the vent path runs through the membrane.
Membrane Characteristics
- Resistance to hydrolytic degradation exceeds that of nylon membranes
- Fluoropolymer chemistry resists microbial and fungal degradation
- Bacterial challenge testing with Brevundimonas diminuta at 10 million CFU per cm2 confirms sterilizing grade
- Ethylene oxide sterilization cycles leave pore integrity and flow performance intact
- Vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide decontamination cycles leave the membrane intact
Housing Characteristics
- Each housing is factory-sterilized and sealed individually to maintain sterility through the supply chain
- Resists stress cracking from aqueous salt and buffer solutions
- Thermal-bonded construction keeps adhesives out of the fluid path
- Sterile barrier packaging assures the housing's factory-sterilized state is intact at the point of use
Particulates left in your organic solvents and reagents carry downstream into the step that depends on a clean feed. Reliable solvent prefiltration keeps a stray particulate from carrying into your downstream work before it carries into further processing.

- QuEChERS Extract Prep - Removes co-extracted waxes and pigments from QuEChERS extracts, protecting GC-MS and LC-MS systems during pesticide testing.
- Organic Solvent Filtration - Wets readily with alcohols and mild hydrocarbons, delivering dependable clarification of organic solvent samples.
- Dissolution Testing - Removes undissolved particles from timed USP 711 dissolution aliquots, preventing skewed potency and release results.
- Sterile Tank Venting - Blocks aqueous ingress on storage tanks and carboys, letting sterile air and gas pass through the vent line.
- Vial and Tubing Venting - Blocks liquid while venting sealed vials and tubing lines, keeping pressure equalized during fluid transfer steps.
- Culture Vessel Filling - Equalizes pressure in sealed culture vessels by venting displaced air, keeping fill and drain lines fully closed.
