Genie Digital Vortex-Genie 2 SI-A236

The Pall 4523 is primarily used for sample clarification and prefiltration, removing particulates before analysis. This helps protect sensitive instruments like HPLC systems and spectrometers from clogging and damage, improving reliability and uptime.

Glass fiber filters have a high dirt-loading capacity and depth filtration structure, allowing them to capture large amounts of particulate without clogging quickly. This makes them ideal for turbid, viscous, or particle-heavy samples that would overwhelm standard membrane filters.

A 1 µm nominal rating indicates the filter is designed to retain most particles around that size, making it well-suited for prefiltration rather than sterile filtration. It effectively removes coarse and intermediate particulates before finer filtration steps.

Yes, the Pall 4523 can be used as a standalone filter for basic clarification or in series with finer membrane filters (e.g., 0.45 µm or 0.2 µm). Using it as a prefilter helps extend the life of downstream filters and analytical columns.

This model features a 25 mm diameter, ~3.9 cm² filtration area, hydrophilic glass fiber media, and polypropylene housing. It is non-sterile, supports temperatures up to ~82°C, and is designed for sample volumes up to ~125–150 mL, making it suitable for routine lab workflows.
