Syringe Filters
Syrings filters with high burst strength for assured performance. Manufactured to ISO 9002 and GMP standard and 100% integrity tested.
Syringe filter sizes include 4, 15, 25, or 26mm diameter to handle volumes ranging from 0.5 to 100ml. The 50mm diameter PTFE syringe filter are ideal for protecting the vacuum line and pump. These disposable filter units are ideal for tissue culture media, buffer solution, stain solution, biological fluids and most other aqueous solutions and reagents that are used daily in the EM lab.
Pore size and membrane type are printed on every syringe and the filters are certified non-cytotoxic and non-pyrogenic. Sterile syringe filters are individually blister-wrapped in cases of 50. Non sterile syringe filters are packaged in cases of 50. The 50mm PTFE syringe filter is supplied in a case of 12.
Filter units with polypropylene housing:
* Not HPLC certified, but still sterile.
Filter with acrylic housing:
* Surfactant Free Cellulose Acetate with Pre-filter

Disposable Sterile Vacuum Filter Units
Vacuum filtration units fit standard threaded bottle tops. Designed for use on glass or polystyrene media bottles. The unit includes membrane filter, glass fiber pre-filter and graduated funnel of clear polystyrene with polyethylene neck adapter. Attaches to most popular 33 and 45mm diameter bottle's necks with standard GPI threads. Systems are individually packed, gamma irradiation sterilized and certified non-pyrogenic. Comes with tubing adapter that fits most vacuum hoses. Units are color coded by membrane type (CA: Orange; NYL: Red, CN: Blue; and PES: Yellow).
Choice of membrane media: Cellulose acetate (CA), for low protein binding. Nylon (NYL), for low extractable. Cellulose Nitrate (CN), for general purpose filtration. Or polyethersulfone (PES), for fast flow rates and low protein binding. Membranes come in 0.20, 0.22 or 0.45µm pore sizes. All four-type membranes are detergent-free, tissue culture compatible, and heat-sealed to the support grid to maximize flow rate, reduce foaming and protein denaturization. Ideal for filtration of tissue culture media, biological fluids, fixation buffers etc. (not for parenteral use.)
