Whatman Puradisc Water-Wettable PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - 6772-1304
Whatman's established manufacturing platform delivers the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. A syringe filter seats a membrane in a sealed housing that threads onto a standard luer fitting. The hydrophilic PTFE membrane accepts aqueous samples without pre-wetting while clarifying particulates at the rated pore size and handles both aqueous buffers and organic solvents. The polypropylene housing routes flow to minimize backpressure in service while contributing minimal extractables to the filtrate and resists degradation from routine sample matrices. When chromatographic methods demand particle-free injections, point-of-use syringe filtration clarifies the sample before it reaches the column.
Technical Specifications
- Low protein binding preserves dilute analytes for maximum recovery
- Universal compatibility across aqueous buffers and organic solvents
- Absolute pore-size rating gives consistent retention across protocols
- Chemically inert to aggressive organic solvents, strong acids, and alkalis
- Water-wettable surface wets directly with both aqueous and organic samples
Housing Specifications
- Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
- Rigid polypropylene body holds its shape under manual filtration pressure
- Tough polypropylene body tolerates repeated handling at the bench
- Low extractable contribution protects sensitive downstream analyses
Filtering particulates upstream protects the column investment your methods depend on. Upstream buffer clarification keeps avoidable particulates out of your flow path while keeping the filtrate analytically clean.
