Sartorius 16278 In-Line Stainless Steel Filter Holder, 47 mm

The Sartorius 16278 filter holder is designed for in-line filtration of liquids using 47 mm membrane filters. It is commonly used in laboratory workflows for particle removal, sterile filtration, and analytical sample preparation where liquid must pass directly through a filtration system during processing.

This holder is designed specifically for 47 mm diameter membrane filters, a common size used in microbiology, environmental testing, and laboratory filtration procedures. The unit provides a filtration area of about 13 cm², supporting efficient sample flow during filtration.

Yes. The unit is built from durable stainless steel and can be sterilized by autoclaving or dry heat, making it suitable for repeated laboratory use where sterile filtration or contamination control is required.

An in-line filter holder is installed directly into the liquid flow path of a system, allowing continuous filtration without manually transferring samples. This makes it useful for processes such as sample clarification, sterile filtration, or filtration within tubing systems.

The stainless steel design allows the holder to operate at pressures up to approximately 20 bar (2,000 kPa / 290 psi), making it suitable for demanding laboratory filtration setups and pressure-driven filtration systems.
