LabExact Polyethersulfone (PES) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 25 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES20026
Sample preparation for chromatography often ends with a syringe filter on the path to the vial. The PES membrane loads aqueous buffers with zero pre-wetting delay and tolerates aliphatic alcohols, glycols, and aqueous buffers. The polypropylene housing presses snugly against the membrane during the pass and delivers a chemically clean filtrate to the downstream step. Where small-volume samples must reach the instrument clean, low hold-up volume keeps sample loss minimal while the instrument stays protected from particulate damage.
Membrane Characteristics
- Non-hydrogen-bonding surface avoids the polar adsorption nylon's amide backbone causes
- Antibody and protein samples pass through PES with minimal adsorptive loss
- Mechanical strength keeps the matrix intact under vacuum or pressure
- Compatibility spans both nucleic acid and protein-based filtration
- Aromatic sulfone backbone underlies stability across the full pH range
Housing Characteristics
- Polypropylene density near 0.90 g/cm3 keeps housing weight low relative to denser engineering plastics
- Burst pressure rating provides a wide safety margin above the rated maximum operating pressure
- Minimal ionic background from the polypropylene housing supports ion chromatography and trace-metal ICP-MS sample preparation
- Minimal intrinsic autofluorescence from the polypropylene housing supports background-sensitive fluorescence-based assay work downstream
Juggling several filter types for one routine clarification eats up your bench time. General-purpose aqueous filtration supports the sample types you handle every day across your water-analysis and general analytical workflows.
