Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18073

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories processing aqueous biological samples face challenges when filtration requires both chemical resistance and immediate hydrophilic wetting without pre-treatment steps. Hydrophilic PVDF membrane technology with 0.1 µm pore size solves this limitation by combining the broad solvent compatibility of traditional PVDF with surface-modified wetting properties that eliminate alcohol pre-wetting requirements. Additionally, the integrated polypropylene prefilter protects the primary membrane from particulate overload while the dual luer connection system ensures compatibility with standard laboratory syringes.

Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophilic surface modification enables immediate processing of aqueous samples without pre-wetting, streamlining workflows for biological applications
• Chemical resistance maintains compatibility with solvents, acids, and alcohols, while the surface treatment provides water-based sample processing
• 0.1 µm pore size removes mycoplasma and provides critical sterile filtration for cell culture applications requiring ultrafine particle removal
• Low protein binding preserves biomolecule integrity by minimizing adsorption during the filtration of protein solutions and enzyme preparations
• Mechanical strength withstands operating pressures up to 87 psi, ensuring reliable performance during high-pressure filtration of viscous biological samples

Key Construction Characteristics

• 10 µL holdup volume optimizes yield by minimizing sample retention, particularly critical when processing expensive reagents or limited-volume specimens
• Polypropylene housing construction maintains dimensional stability at temperatures up to 60°C and supports both autoclave and gamma sterilization protocols
• Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip dual connection design accommodates different syringe types without requiring adapters or specialized fittings
• 1.09 cm² filtration area with integrated polypropylene prefilter extends operational life by capturing larger particles before membrane contact

Critical sterile filtration applications in biotechnology require submicron particle removal without compromising sample integrity or adding workflow complexity. Hydrophilic PVDF syringe filters deliver 0.1 µm mycoplasma-grade filtration with immediate aqueous compatibility. Engineered to overcome your challenges with traditional hydrophobic membranes, this filtration technology provides workflow efficiency with chemical resistance and low protein binding for demanding research and quality control procedures.
