PALL AP-4219 Acrodisc Syringe Filters with PTFE Membrane - 0.45 µm, 25mm (50/pkg 200/cs)

Syringe filters are used in analytical chemistry applications to remove particulate contamination prior to analysis. Filtering a sample prior to sample injection into analytical instrumentation will help protect sensitive parts of the instrument from particulate build-up and reduce system downtime. Sample filtration using syringe filters containing 0.45 μm (HPLC) or 0.2 μm (UHPLC) pore size membranes will also extend the life of chromatography columns by preventing particulate from blocking the flow path between the column packing.

PTFE membrane is highly chemically compatible for the filtration of harsh solvents that can destroy other membrane materials. PTFE is a hydrophobic membrane, so it will repel water and is not suitable for the filtration of aqueous solutions.

As well as being suitable for the filtration of organic solvents in applications such as HPLC and UHPLC sample preparation, the hydrophobic nature of the PTFE membrane makes these syringe filters ideal to use in gas filtration or as a moisture barrier in venting applications.

Pall provides HPLC certification with these products, ensuring that analytical results will not be compromised by extractable filter materials. Pall membranes are tested for compatibility with common HPLC solvents including water, methanol, and acetonitrile, using established HPLC procedures. In addition, to verify low levels of UV-detectable extractables, samples of the syringe filters are evaluated prior to release.

Acrodisc PSF Syringe Filters feature a large effective filtration area (3.9 cm2) for increased sample throughput, ideal for sample volumes of ≤ 150 mL. Pall Acrodisc PSF Syringe Filters are designed to be fully compatible for use with automated robotic handling systems offering reliable and worry-free operation.
