Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Syringe Filters - SF18074
Achieving sterility in critical biological workflows often requires filtration capable of removing mycoplasma and ultrafine contaminants. Hydrophilic PVDF syringe filters with a 0.1 µm pore size provide this essential barrier without requiring alcohol pre-wetting steps. An integrated polypropylene prefilter extends membrane life by capturing larger debris before it reaches the final filtration stage. The advanced dual-layer construction ensures consistent flow rates even when processing complex pharmaceutical formulations. Researchers can protect their sensitive cell cultures from contamination risks while maximizing the recovery of valuable protein solutions.
Key PVDF Membrane Characteristics
- Naturally hydrophilic surface chemistry wets instantly with water, eliminating the need for alcohol pre-wetting and speeding up critical sample preparation
- Ultrafine 0.1 µm pore size provides a reliable absolute barrier against mycoplasma and bacteria for the most stringent sterilization requirements
- Low protein-binding membrane surfaces minimize the adsorption of biomolecules to ensure high recovery rates for dilute protein and peptide solutions
- Broad chemical compatibility allows users to confidently filter a wide range of solvents, acids, and bases without risking membrane degradation
- Robust material stability maintains performance across pH extremes and aggressive solvent systems to support diverse analytical applications
Key Construction Characteristics
- Optimized 100 µL holdup volume design minimizes sample loss to maximize the recovery of expensive pharmaceutical and biological extracts
- Integrated polypropylene prefilters protect the final membrane from premature fouling to significantly extend throughput for particulate-laden fluids
- Thermal durability allows the housing to withstand temperatures up to 60°C and fully compatible autoclave sterilization cycles for repeated use
- Dual Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip connections allow for safe, leak-free attachment to standard syringes and laboratory tubing systems
Ensure the highest level of purity for your injectable formulations and biological extracts with this advanced filtration technology. You can rely on the naturally wettable surface to speed up processing times during critical experiments. The secure Luer-Lok connection prevents leaks to maintain safe handling of hazardous or valuable liquids. Broad chemical compatibility allows you to filter diverse solvents and buffers without compromising structural integrity. Optimize your laboratory throughput by selecting a filter designed for maximum protein recovery and absolute retention of microscopic pathogens.
