Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Syringe Filters - SF18260
When you need to remove mycoplasma from large-volume biological 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 organisms. The large 33mm diameter with 8.55cm² filtration area handles up to 110ml sample volumes, and just 100µL holdup volume maximizes recovery. Pre-sterilized packaging means contamination-free handling, and the polypropylene prefilter protects the membrane when processing particulate-laden 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 for large-volume processing
Key Construction Characteristics
- 100µL holdup volume balances sample recovery with practical handling for large-volume processing
- Pre-sterilized individual packaging provides contamination-free handling without autoclaving preparation
- High-Capacity 33mm Platform - 4.9cm² effective area enables processing of large sample volumes up to 110ml capacity
- Integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane life by capturing large particles upstream
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, important when processing multiple large-volume samples. The large 8.55cm² filtration area handles up to 110ml volumes efficiently, and 100µL holdup volume maximizes recovery of biological samples. The 87psi burst pressure provides reliable performance, and the 29psi bubble point confirms consistent 0.1µm pore structure for reproducible mycoplasma removal.
