Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18081

When you need to remove mycoplasma from small-volume samples, these 0.1µm hydrophilic PTFE filters provide submicron particle removal without pre-wetting. The hydrophilic surface processes aqueous samples immediately while the 0.1µm pore size removes mycoplasma and submicron particles. With just 10µL holdup volume in a compact 13mm diameter, you maximize recovery of precious analytical samples. Pre-sterilized packaging means contamination-free handling, and the polypropylene prefilter protects the membrane from large particles when processing biological samples.

Key PTFE Membrane Characteristics

• 0.1µm pore size removes mycoplasma and submicron particles with 29psi bubble point specification
• Hydrophilic surface modification eliminates pre-wetting requirements for immediate aqueous sample processing
• Broad chemical compatibility withstands analytical solvents across diverse laboratory applications
• Low protein binding minimizes sample loss when filtering biological solutions and protein samples
• Membrane thickness of 80-140µm provides structural stability during filtration

Key Construction Characteristics

• 10µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of valuable small-volume analytical samples
• Pre-sterilized individual packaging provides contamination-free handling without autoclaving preparation
• 13mm diameter with 1.09cm² filtration area for efficient small-volume sample processing
• Integrated polypropylene prefilter captures large particles before they reach the PTFE membrane

You can autoclave these filters at 121°C for 30 minutes when your protocols require pre-sterilization before use. Pre-sterilized packaging means you can start filtering immediately without preparation steps, saving time when processing multiple samples. You recover virtually all of your sample with just 10µL holdup volume - critical when working with limited biological specimens. The 87psi burst pressure handles typical analytical workflows, and the 29psi bubble point confirms consistent 0.1µm pore structure for reproducible mycoplasma removal.
