Whatman GD/X Syringe Filters PVDF 0.45µm 13mm Pack of 1500

Whatman GD/X range is specifically designed for high particulate loaded samples. Constructed of a pigment-free polypropylene housing with a prefiltration stack of Whatman GMF 150 (graded density) and GF/F glass microfiber media, these filters eliminate sample contamination and allow you to filter even the most difficult samples with less hand pressure. GD/X syringe filters can process three to seven times more sample volume than standard syringe filters.

GMF 150 and GF/F are produced from 100% borosilicate glass microfiber. The innovative, graded density GMF 150 medium has a coarse top layer meshed with a fine bottom layer that retains particles to 1.0µm. A GF/F filter then retains particles down to 0.7µm. The prefilter stack ends with a final membrane.

Whatman GD/X filter construction facilitates exceptional loading capacity with fast flow rates. This prevents the build up of back pressure typically caused by the blocking of an unprotected membrane.

13 or 25mm diameter syringe filters
25mm devices for samples greater than 10 ml (however, the volume of sample that can be filtered through each filter depends on the characteristics of the sample)
Sterile options
Pigment-free polypropylene housing
Unique prefiltration stack of Whatman GMF 150 (graded density) and GF/F glass microfiber media

Guide to…Syringe Filter Properties

Identifying the filter material most suitable for your application based upon the nature of the liquid or gas you are filtering will ensure the best performance of your filter. Each syringe filter contains a membrane filter of a set diameter and plastic housing with luer connections used for connecting to syringes (or in-line hosing systems).

The membrane filter material has differing chemical and physical properties such as hydrophobicity, flow rate, extractables and protein retention making them suited to differing applications. Once you have selected the most compatible filter material, you will need to consider what pore size is most appropriate for your application and what diameter filter is suitable for your sample volume.

Filter diameter

High particulate loaded samples with tend to block the pores in the membrane more quickly so the total volume you can filter through a certain diameter syringe filter will vary greatly. Please take the below figures as a guide only.

13mm diameter - for samples <10ml
25mm diameter - for samples <100ml
33mm diameter - for samples <250ml

For samples that are very particle ladden, it is recommened that you try pre-filtering your sample. Pre-filtering can be achieved with a number of different filters, such as glass microfibre. Some syringe filters come with an in-built pre-filter.
