Hydrophilic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18078

Biopharmaceutical manufacturing and cell culture research demand absolute mycoplasma removal while maintaining chemical compatibility across diverse buffer systems and protein formulations. Hydrophilic-treated PTFE membrane technology with 0.1µm pore size delivers validated mycoplasma filtration and bacterial removal without the pre-wetting complications of standard hydrophobic PTFE. The compact 13mm diameter format provides 1.09cm² filtration area optimized for small-volume sterile processing where sample conservation is essential. Superior engineering combines immediate aqueous compatibility with PTFE's exceptional chemical resistance, enabling reliable sterilization of sensitive biological solutions, pharmaceutical intermediates, and analytical standards across acidic, basic, and organic solvent systems.

Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics

• Ultra-fine 0.1µm pore size provides validated mycoplasma removal and bacterial retention for critical cell culture applications and biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes
• Hydrophilic surface treatment eliminates pre-wetting steps, enabling immediate processing of aqueous buffers, protein solutions, and biological samples without alcohol preparation
• Exceptional chemical resistance maintains membrane integrity across extreme pH ranges, organic solvents, strong acids, aggressive bases, and reactive chemical systems
• Low protein binding characteristics preserve sample composition and prevent adsorptive losses during filtration of therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and enzyme formulations
• Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane life by capturing coarse particles before they reach the fine 0.1µm layer, particularly valuable for particulate-laden samples

Key Construction Characteristics

• Polypropylene housing construction delivers comprehensive chemical compatibility and autoclave capability at 121°C for user sterilization protocols when applications require
• Compact 13mm diameter with 1.09cm² filtration area designed for small-volume sterile processing where sample conservation and mycoplasma control are critical
• Ultra-low 10µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of precious biological samples, expensive pharmaceutical compounds, and limited analytical reference materials
• Dual Luer-Lok and Luer Slip compatibility accommodates precision syringes from 1ml to 10ml for controlled processing of valuable small-volume specimens

Engineered for your most critical mycoplasma control and sterile filtration requirements, these specialty filters combine ultra-fine 0.1µm retention with hydrophilic convenience for immediate aqueous processing. You achieve maximum sample recovery through minimal 10µL holdup volume while PTFE's exceptional chemical resistance ensures reliable performance across diverse pH ranges and solvent systems. Autoclavable construction supports your sterilization protocols, and robust 87psi burst pressure delivers dependable operation throughout demanding biopharmaceutical and analytical applications.
