Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18089
When you need to remove viruses and submicron particles from large-volume samples in aggressive solvents, these 0.1µm PTFE filters provide submicron filtration without pre-wetting. The hydrophobic membrane removes viruses and submicron particles from non-aqueous solutions while handling strong acids, bases, and halogenated organics. The large 33mm diameter with 8.55cm² filtration area processes high-volume samples efficiently. Pre-sterilized packaging means contamination-free handling, and polypropylene housing withstands pressures up to 87psi.
Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics
- Hydrophobic membrane design effectively filters organic solvents, acids, and bases without chemical degradation
- 0.1µm pore size removes submicron particles and viruses from non-aqueous solutions
- Pre-sterilized by gamma irradiation ensures contamination-free filtration for critical aseptic applications
- Broad chemical resistance from strong carbon-fluorine bonds maintains integrity in aggressive solvent systems
- Membrane thickness of 80-140µm optimizes retention efficiency while maintaining adequate flow characteristics
Key Construction Characteristics
- Polypropylene housing provides excellent chemical compatibility with organic and inorganic solvents
- Large 33mm diameter with 8.55cm² filtration area for high-volume sample processing
- Holdup volume of 100µL balances sample recovery with practical handling for high-volume processing
- Luer-Lok/Luer Slip dual connection system accommodates various syringe sizes and automated systems
Pre-sterilized packaging means you can start filtering immediately without autoclaving preparation, important when processing multiple large-volume samples. The large 8.55cm² filtration area handles high-volume applications efficiently while maintaining virus and submicron particle removal, and you can process samples at temperatures up to 60°C. The 87psi burst pressure handles typical laboratory workflows, and the 26.11psi bubble point confirms consistent 0.1µm pore structure for reproducible virus and submicron particle removal.
