LabExact PVDF Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10048

Because each syringe filter is dedicated to one sample, a failed or contaminated filtration stays isolated to its own analyst's run and leaves the next analyst's queue clear. PVDF resists HPLC mobile phases, alcohols, and mild hydrocarbons while clarifying samples at the rated pore size and passes gases freely while holding back water. Low-extractable polypropylene keeps sample purity intact through the filtration pass while leaving no seam for sample to bypass the membrane and stays inert across common laboratory solvents. When chromatographic methods demand particle-free injections, the column stays clean from run to run, protecting method performance and column life.

Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrochloric, dilute nitric, and up to 90% sulfuric acid cause no attack
• Fluoropolymer chemistry resists microbial and fungal degradation
• Ethylene oxide sterilization cycles leave pore integrity and flow performance intact
• Absolute pore rating ensures reproducible results between test runs
• Hydrophobic surface chemistry gives PVDF a water contact angle above 100 degrees, blocking wetting

Housing Characteristics

• Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
• Housing tolerates elevated-temperature aqueous and solvent sample filtration up to about 80°C without softening
• Translucent housing wall allows visual confirmation of sample flow during filtration
• Low moisture absorption keeps the housing dimensionally stable through humid storage and shipping

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 so your filter holds its integrity through the run.
