About Pvdf Hydrophobic Syringe Filter
Opt for PVDF Hydrophobic Syringe Filter for general biological filtration. It is a product of choice for applications that demand high protein recovery. In order to handle the aqueous sample, it is essential to pre-wet the syringe filter with alcohol. The sample extracts remain clean as it removes interfering materials and fine particles at desired pore size. It is proven to add a syringe filtration step before chromatographic injection for consistent and reliable results. This also helps to safeguard instruments and increase the life of the column. The membrane of this filter is made from HPLC certified PVDF. Its maximum operating temperature is 100 deg C. The housing of PVDF hydrophobic syringe filters is made from medical grade, virgin polypropylene. This syringe filter is used for protein-based samples, environmental water samples, preparation of HPLC and organic-solvent samples, filtering gas & vapor, hydrophilic aseptic filtration of reagents, raw chemical filtration, etc.

Superior Chemical Compatibility and VersatilityCrafted with PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), these hydrophobic syringe filters are engineered for high chemical resistance and low protein binding. Their construction supports reliable sample filtration, sterilization, and clarification processes for a wide array of aqueous and organic solutions, providing versatile use in analytical and research laboratories.
Convenient Design and Packaging OptionsOffered in both 13 mm and 25 mm diameters, the filter's color-coding ensures quick identification: yellow for 13 mm and white for 25 mm. Choose from individually packed filters for sterility or bulk packaging for larger operations, ensuring seamless adaption to varied lab workflows.
Reliable Performance and Easy SterilizationWithstanding temperatures up to 60C and pressures up to 87 psi, the filters guarantee robust performance under demanding lab conditions. Autoclavable (unassembled) at 121C for 20 minutes, these filters deliver ease of sterilization and consistent accuracy for every filtration application.
FAQ's of Pvdf Hydrophobic Syringe Filter:
Q: How do I use the PVDF hydrophobic syringe filter for sample filtration?
A: Attach the filter to a compatible syringe using the female luer lock inlet and the male luer slip outlet. Carefully introduce the sample, press gently, and collect the filtered output. Select the appropriate filter diameter (13 mm or 25 mm) based on your sample volume.
Q: What applications are these syringe filters suitable for in the laboratory?
A: They are ideal for clarification, sterilization, and filtration of aqueous and organic samples, making them well-suited for research, sample preparation, and analytical lab workflows.
Q: When should I opt for a sterile versus a non-sterile filter option?
A: Use sterile filters for applications requiring contamination-free conditions, such as cell culture or sensitive analyses. Non-sterile filters are sufficient for general sample clarification or chemical filtration processes.
Q: Where are the PVDF hydrophobic syringe filters manufactured and supplied from?
A: These filters are manufactured and supplied in India by reliable laboratory equipment manufacturers and suppliers, ensuring quality and accessibility to research facilities nationwide.
Q: What is the benefit of using a hydrophobic PVDF filter for organic solutions?
A: Hydrophobic PVDF filters present high chemical compatibility and resist wetting, making them excellent for organic solvent filtration, while ensuring low protein binding and high flow rates for accurate results.
Q: Can the filter be autoclaved for sterilization, and what is the proper process?
A: Yes, the filter can be autoclaved at 121C for 20 minutes, but only in an unassembled state to preserve performance. Ensure proper disassembly before sterilization for best results.
Q: What warranty and support are provided with these syringe filters?
A: These hydrophobic syringe filters come with a warranty from the manufacturer, offering assurance of quality and support for laboratory use. Consult the supplier for specific warranty details.
