PVDF (Hydrophobic) Syringe Filters

PVDF (Hydrophobic) Syringe Filters

Description:

PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) hydrophobic syringe filters are specialized filtration devices used in laboratories for filtering liquids, especially those that contain non-polar substances. The PVDF membrane is chemically resistant, durable, and ideal for use in situations where traditional hydrophilic filters may not be suitable. These filters are designed for use with syringes, typically for small-scale or precision filtration applications in research and industrial laboratories.

Specifications:

• Material of Membrane: PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)

• Filter Type: Hydrophobic (not compatible with aqueous solutions, ideal for non-polar solvents)

• Pore Size Options: Typically 0.22 µm or 0.45 µm (to filter bacteria, particulates, or microorganisms)

• Diameter: Common sizes include 13 mm, 25 mm, and 30 mm for compatibility with standard syringe sizes

• Housing Material: Polypropylene or other compatible plastics for durability and chemical resistance

• Max Pressure: Typically up to 100 psi (may vary by model and size)

• Volume Capacity: Usually up to 100 mL to 500 mL, depending on the syringe size and filter diameter

• Sterilization: Often sterilized by gamma irradiation or electron beam (depending on brand)

• Packaging: Individually packaged for cleanliness and convenience

Uses:

• Filtration of non-polar solvents (e.g., hexane, chloroform, and acetone)

• Sample preparation for chromatography (HPLC, GC)

• Purification of organic solvents

• Removal of particulates or contaminants from sensitive compounds

• Filtration of gases or non-aqueous samples

• Industrial applications where hydrophobic filtration is necessary

• Removal of microorganisms from non-aqueous liquids in research and industrial applications
