LabExact PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 17 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10331

Many syringe filters ship with lot-specific quality documentation, giving analysts documented traceability beyond what an ad hoc bulk filtration setup typically provides. Hydrophobic PVDF repels water for dependable gas and vent filtration and holds absolute retention steady across the entire membrane. Polyolefin construction sheds virtually no extractable material into the sample while staying inert across common laboratory solvents and maintains a low-dead-volume internal flow path. Where analytical results depend on clean samples, the preparation step stays consistent from sample to sample through a pre-tested syringe filter.

Membrane Characteristics

• Gamma irradiation sterilization causes no chain scission unlike polypropylene membranes
• Limiting oxygen index runs high, supporting flame resistance and low smoke
• Ethylene oxide sterilization cycles leave pore integrity and flow performance intact
• Vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide decontamination cycles leave the membrane intact
• Absolute pore rating ensures reproducible results between test runs

Housing Characteristics

• The seal formed against the membrane blocks bypass at rated operating pressure
• Withstands standard 121°C steam autoclave cycles without softening or structural distortion
• Minimal ionic background from the polypropylene housing supports ion chromatography and trace-metal ICP-MS sample preparation
• Housing rated for reliable filtration under syringe-applied backpressure at its maximum operating pressure

An aggressive solvent can leach or break down a vulnerable filter and carry debris into your prep. Solvent-stream filtration handles the solvents and reagents your methods rely on from initial prep through final use.

• 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.
• Petroleum Sample Prep - Removes particulates from fuel and lubricant samples ahead of viscosity and quality-control testing.
• Dissolution Testing - Removes undissolved particles from timed USP 711 dissolution aliquots, preventing skewed potency and release results.
• Compressed Gas Filtration - Passes nitrogen and other inert gases freely while holding back moisture, protecting instruments and gas lines.
• Culture Vessel Filling - Equalizes pressure in sealed culture vessels by venting displaced air, keeping fill and drain lines fully closed.
