PTFE Membrane Filters, 5.00 um, 150mm, Nonsterile, 50/Pk SKU: SF13873

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Filters, 5.0µm, 150mm - SF13873

In high-throughput analytical laboratories, the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Filters, 5.0um, 150mm, Nonsterile, 25/pk series establishes a standard for effective particulate removal and sample clarification. Facilitating rapid sample turnover, the hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane structure ensures the 5.0 rating remains consistent even under pressure. To ensure experimental consistency, the high-quality material provides uniform flow and predictable retention rates across the entire surface area. The result is a filtration solution manufactured in an ISO-certified facility that minimizes distinct interference, providing clean baselines for publication-quality data.

Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics

• Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with hydrophobic (standard) / hydrophilic (treated) affinity
• N/A (Chemically Inert) characteristics
• Universal resistance to aggressive organic solvents, strong acids, and alkalis
• Hydrophobic version requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous solutions
• Verified 5.0 retention rating for clarification

By selecting a filter that matches the exact chemical nature of your samples, you ensure that your workflow remains uninterrupted by membrane failures. You can rely on the certified integrity of these units to protect your critical samples and instrumentation from damaging contaminants. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

Hydrophobic

• Pump Protection - Acts as a reliable hydrophobic barrier to protect vacuum pumps from corrosive moisture damage and particulate contamination
• Venting Applications - Prevents moisture and particulate intrusion in sterile tanks and vessels, ensuring a contaminant-free storage environment
• Chemical Synthesis - Resists aggressive organic solvents and corrosive acids, ensuring compatibility with the harshest synthetic reaction mixtures
• Air Monitoring - Ensures precise capture of airborne particulates for environmental analysis in challenging atmospheric monitoring conditions
• Moisture Barrier - Protects sensitive electronic sensors and instruments from aqueous aerosols while allowing gases to pass freely
• Gas Filtration - Ensures sterility in air and gas lines for fermentation tanks, preventing the introduction of airborne contaminants
