- Cellulose Acetate membrane
- 03mm diameter
- luer lock inlet, luer slip outlet
- Polycarbonate housing
- 0.2µm pore size
FP filters are designed for aqueous samples and Aqua filters are specifically designed for filtration of environmental samples prior to COD and DOC analysis. The membranes used in these devices are prewashed prior to assembly so as to reduce the organic carbon level.
The Puradisc syringe filters combine premium quality with economic efficiency, and are suited to rapid routine syringe filtration of samples up to 100ml.
Choose from 4mm, 13mm and 30mm diameters to suit the sample volume.
Range of pore sizes and filter materials to suit all applications.
Sterile and non-sterile versions available.
Suitable for a range of applications, including capillary electrophoresis, biological preparations, protein filtration, and UV spectroscopy sample preparation.
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.
Membrane Material
| Membrane Material | Protein binding | Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic | Chemical resistance | Applications |
| Hydrophilic PTFE | Low | Hydrophilic | High | Purification of HPLC organic and solvent/aqueous solutions |
| Hydrophobic PTFE | Low | Hydrophobic | High | Filtration of solvents |
| PES | Low | Hydrophilic | Low/Medium | Purification of tissue culture solutions, buffers |
| PVDF | Low | Hydrophilic | Medium | Filtration of protein solutions |
| NYL | Medium | Hydrophilic | Medium | Filtration of aqueous and solvent/aqueous mixtures |
| CA | Low | Hydrophilic | Low | Filtration of protein solutions |
| CN | High | Hydrophilic | Low | Filtration of aqueous solutions where protein binding is not a concern and microbioloigical applications. |
| RC | Low | Hydrophilic | Medium | Filtration of aqueous and organic solvents and protein recovery applications. |
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.
