Sterile Syringe Filter
A sterile syringe filter is a vital tool used in laboratories and research settings to achieve sterile filtration of liquids. Designed with strict quality standards, these filters are crucial in maintaining aseptic conditions during sensitive experiments and procedures. The key features of a sterile syringe filter include its sterilization method, filter membrane, pore size, and luer lock or luer slip connections.
Hawach Scientific’s sterile syringe filter is available in a wide variety of filter membrane materials, pore sizes, and diameters for different applications and sample volumes.
Features
- Sterilization: Sterilized to eliminate any bacteria or other microorganisms that may be present in the filter. This ensures that the filtered liquid is free from any harmful pathogens.
- Material: Made of different materials such as polyethersulfone (PES), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), nylon, and cellulose acetate. The material used depends on the application and the properties of the liquid to be filtered.
- Pore size: Sterile syringe filters come in different pore sizes ranging from 0.1 microns to 5 microns. The pore size determines the size of the particles that can be removed from the liquid.
- Compatibility: Sterile syringe filters are compatible with a wide range of liquids such as aqueous and organic solvents, acids, and bases. The filter material must be selected based on the compatibility with the liquid to be filtered.
- Sterile packaging: Sterile syringe filters are packaged in a sterile environment to prevent any contamination. The packaging is designed to maintain the sterility of the filter until it is used.
- Ease of use: Easy to use and can be attached to a syringe to filter the liquid. The filters are available in different sizes to fit different syringe volumes.
The available materials include PTFE, PP, PVDF, Nylon, PES, MCE, CA, and glass fiber, they are constructed with virgin polypropylene and welding to prevent the leak of the sample solvent. The sterile syringe filter has been gamma sterilized, and individually packaged.
Unlike the Sterile syringe filter, the Advanced Syringe Filter low protein binding syringe filter has two choices of sterilization and non-sterilization.
Hawach syringe filters are disposable and easy to attach to a syringe through a Luer connection. They are ideal for the removal of particles from a sample solvent prior to HPLC, and GC analysis. Major applications include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural laboratories.
