Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18078

Mycoplasma contamination and the removal of submicron particles in small-volume biological samples pose critical challenges to research productivity and sample integrity. Traditional filtration methods struggle with achieving absolute 0.1μm retention while maintaining acceptable flow rates for limited sample volumes. Advanced hydrophilic PTFE membrane technology eliminates these processing obstacles through surface-modified fluoropolymer chemistry providing immediate aqueous compatibility and complete mycoplasma removal. Technical specifications deliver 10ml/min flow rate efficiency at 10psi operating pressure, 13mm compact design with 1.09cm² filtration area, and 20μL holdup volume optimization ensuring maximum recovery of precious small-volume analytical specimens up to 10ml capacity.

Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics

• Absolute 0.1μm Mycoplasma Retention - Provides complete removal of mycoplasma organisms and submicron particles for critical sterile applications
• Hydrophilic Surface Treatment - Modified fluoropolymer eliminates pre-wetting protocols, enabling immediate sample processing without preparation delays
• Broad Chemical Compatibility - Withstands aggressive analytical solvents while maintaining clear incompatibility documentation for operational safety
• Low Protein Binding Surface - Maintains concentration of therapeutic proteins and sensitive biomolecules throughout filtration processes
• High-Temperature Capability - 130°C maximum operating temperature supports challenging thermal processing and sterilization requirements

Key Construction Characteristics

• 20μL Optimized Holdup Volume - Minimizes loss of valuable small-volume samples through precision dead space design for maximum specimen recovery
• Compact 13mm Configuration - 1.09cm² effective area provides efficient processing for small to medium volume applications requiring sterility
• Universal Luer Interface - Dual Luer-Lok/Luer Slip connections ensure seamless compatibility with all standard laboratory syringe systems
• High-Performance Polypropylene Housing - Chemical-resistant construction supports elevated temperature operation and autoclave sterilization protocols

Engineered for your most demanding small-volume sterile filtration requirements, this hydrophilic PTFE system provides structural integrity through 87psi burst pressure ratings while delivering efficient 10ml/min flow characteristics. Your laboratory maximizes sample recovery through minimal 20μL dead volume design and achieves immediate processing capability, while the high-temperature rating ensures reliable performance across autoclave sterilization cycles and challenging thermal applications.
