Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18075
Critical sterile filtration and mycoplasma removal applications face challenges due to membrane fouling, protein loss, and pre-wetting complications, which compromise sample integrity and laboratory productivity. Conventional filtration approaches struggle with achieving absolute retention while maintaining flow rates necessary for high-volume processing. Advanced hydrophilic PTFE membrane technology at 0.1μm pore size eliminates these obstacles through surface-modified fluoropolymer chemistry that provides immediate aqueous compatibility and absolute mycoplasma retention. Technical specifications include 29psi bubble point validation ensuring complete 0.1μm particle retention, 33mm high-capacity design with 4.9cm² filtration area, and 100μL dead volume optimization supporting 110ml throughput capacity for demanding laboratory workflows.
