PALL 60178 Versapor Acrylic Copolymer 5000 Membrane Disc Filters, 5 µm - 47 mm (100/pkg)

These Versapor acrylic copolymer filters are commonly used for prefiltration of particle-laden or difficult-to-filter solutions, including serum and viscous samples. They help protect downstream sterilizing filters and laboratory instruments by removing larger particulates before final filtration.

The Pall 60178 filters are supplied non-sterile. However, laboratories can sterilize them if required using methods such as gamma irradiation or ethanol sanitization, depending on their workflow requirements.

This model features a 5 µm pore size and 47 mm diameter membrane made from Versapor acrylic copolymer on a non-woven support. Each package contains 100 filters, designed for reliable microfiltration and prefiltration tasks.

Versapor membranes offer high flow rates, strong wet and dry strength, and resistance to clogging. Their hydrophilic acrylic copolymer construction provides excellent throughput at low differential pressure, making them efficient for high-volume lab filtration workflows.

Yes. Versapor membrane disc filters are often used in place of glass fiber prefilters because they provide strong mechanical integrity, low shedding, and consistent retention while maintaining high flow performance in demanding applications.
