Whatman Puradisc Water-Wettable PTFE Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 13 mm, 2000/Pk - 6774-1304
Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production guides material selection and quality control. Syringe filters give the analyst a single-use device for clarifying samples right at the bench. The hydrophilic PTFE membrane clarifies particulates at the rated pore size and withstands aggressive organic solvents without swelling. The polypropylene housing contributes minimal extractables to the filtrate while staying inert across common laboratory solvents and maintains housing integrity through the filtration run. When sterile or particle-free preparation matters at the bench, the syringe filter delivers it with minimal added handling.
Technical Specifications
- Universal compatibility across aqueous buffers and organic solvents
- Water-wettable surface wets directly with both aqueous and organic samples
- Absolute pore-size rating gives consistent retention across protocols
- Chemically inert to aggressive organic solvents, strong acids, and alkalis
- Low protein binding preserves dilute analytes for maximum recovery
Housing Specifications
- Resists stress cracking from aqueous salt and buffer solutions
- Resists aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols in routine sample prep
- Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
- Optimized internal geometry minimizes backpressure in service
Filtering every buffer before loading keeps your instrument running clean and uninterrupted. Upstream buffer clarification keeps avoidable particulates out of your flow path before they reach the column inlet or detector.
