Featuring a naturally hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane with a 0.45 micron pore size, this 25mm sterile syringe filter delivers fast, reliable clarification of aqueous and organic solutions. The PVDF membrane provides very low protein binding and broad chemical compatibility, making it well suited to protecting analytical instrumentation and preparing protein-containing samples. A modified acrylic housing bidirectionally supports the membrane, and each device is integrity tested to ensure a proper filter fit and weld that eliminates filter by-pass. Filters are individually labeled with the specific membrane material and pore size, and supplied 50 per pack.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic: wets out readily for fast, consistent filtration of aqueous and alcohol-based solutions.
- Very low protein binding: preserves sample integrity and maximizes recovery of protein-containing solutions.
- Low extractables: minimizes contamination of filtrate for sensitive downstream analysis.
- Broad chemical compatibility: withstands aggressive acids and alcohols across a wide range of mobile phases.
- 0.45 micron pore size: removes particulates from samples to protect HPLC and GC instrumentation.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Housing: modified acrylic that bidirectionally supports the membrane.
- Connections: Luer-Lok inlet and Luer Slip outlet for secure, versatile syringe attachment.
- Sterility: supplied sterile and individually packaged.
- Operating pressure: rated for increased operating pressure up to 75 psi.
- Filtration area: 4.6 cm2 with low hold-up volume for efficient sample recovery.
This filter maintains consistent flow and effective particulate removal while protecting sensitive downstream analysis. The integrity-tested construction and low-protein-binding membrane help preserve sample integrity from preparation through measurement. Reliable performance across aqueous and solvent-based samples makes it a dependable choice for routine analytical workflows.
