Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18086
Featuring advanced hydrophobic PTFE membrane technology engineered for exceptional chemical resistance and fine particulate removal at 0.1µm pore size. High-capacity 33mm diameter filters deliver reliable performance for demanding laboratory applications requiring ultrafine filtration with minimal sample loss. Robust polypropylene housing construction ensures compatibility with aggressive solvents while maintaining structural integrity at pressures up to 87psi.
Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic membrane design repels aqueous solutions while effectively filtering organic solvents and gases
- Exceptional chemical resistance to acids, bases, and aggressive organic solvents due to strong carbon-fluorine bonds
- Ultra-fine 0.1µm pore size removes small particles, microorganisms, and submicron contaminants
- Membrane thickness of 80-140µm provides optimal flow rates while maintaining filtration efficiency
- Autoclavable at 121°C for 30 minutes or gamma sterilizable at 25kGy for sterile applications
Key Construction Characteristics
SF18086 filters combine ultra-fine 0.1µm filtration with high chemical resistance to deliver consistent results in your most demanding applications. A flow rate of 12ml through the 33mm membrane ensures efficient processing while the 120ml volume throughput capacity handles multiple samples without replacement. Maximum operating temperature of 60°C accommodates warm solvent filtration, expanding your analytical capabilities across diverse laboratory protocols.
