syringe filter

Product Description

A syringe filter is a laboratory device used to filter solutions before injection into systems such as HPLC, GC, or during sample preparation. It attaches to a syringe and contains a membrane that removes particulates and impurities from the liquid.

Key Features:

1. Construction:

   • Typically made of plastic housing (e.g., polypropylene) with an integrated membrane filter.
   • Housing is designed to be compatible with most syringes through a Luer lock or Luer slip connection.

2. Filter Membrane Types:

   • PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Ideal for organic solvents and aggressive chemicals.
   • Nylon: Suitable for aqueous and organic mixtures.
   • PES (Polyethersulfone): For aqueous solutions, with low protein binding.
   • PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride): For both aqueous and organic solvents, with low extractables.
