Description

Permanent Hydrophilic PTFE Membranes – Direct Replacement for Millipore, Whatman & Advantec

Why Labs Choose Hawach Hydrophilic PTFE Membranes

  • No Pre-Wetting Required– Permanently hydrophilic PTFE allows direct aqueous solution filtration. Eliminates methanol/ethanol pre-wetting, saving time in HPLC and LC-MS workflows.
  • HPLC & LC-MS Grade, Low Extractables– High-purity PTFE ensures stable baseline and minimal ghost peaks, ideal for sensitive analytical applications.
  • Broad Chemical & pH Compatibility– Works from pH 1–14. Resistant to strong acids, bases, alcohols, ketones, esters, and most organic solvents.
  • Low Protein Binding & High Sample Recovery– Smooth inert surface minimizes non-specific adsorption. Essential for biopharma, protein research, and enzyme assays.
  • Autoclavable & Gamma Sterilization Compatible– Supports sterile filtration, microbial testing, and repeated laboratory use.
  • Drop-in Replacement– Fits Millipore, Whatman, Advantec, Sartorius, Tisch, Sterlitech holders without workflow adjustment.
