PALL AP-4436 Acrodisc PSF Syringe Filters with Nylon Membrane - 0.2 µm (50/pkg 200/cs)

Syringe filters are used in analytical chemistry applications to remove particulate contamination prior to analysis. Filtering a sample prior to sample injection into analytical instrumentation will help protect sensitive parts of the instrument from particulate build-up and reduce system downtime. Sample filtration using syringe filters containing 0.45 μm (HPLC) or 0.2 μm (UHPLC) pore size membranes will also extend the life of chromatography columns by preventing particulate from blocking the flow path between the column packing.

Nylon syringe filters can be used for both aqueous and solvent-based sample filtration applications and show excellent chemical compatibility with esters, bases and alcohols. However, it should be noted that nylon syringe filters are not recommended for sample fluids which are strongly acidic.

Pall provides HPLC certification with these products, ensuring that analytical results will not be compromised by extractable filter materials. Pall membranes are tested for compatibility with common HPLC solvents including water, methanol, and acetonitrile, using established HPLC procedures. In addition, to verify low levels of UV-detectable extractables, samples of the syringe filters are evaluated prior to release.

Acrodisc PSF Syringe Filters feature a large effective filtration area (3.9 cm2) for increased sample throughput, ideal for sample volumes of ≤ 150 mL. Pall Acrodisc PSF Syringe Filters are designed to be fully compatible for use with automated robotic handling systems offering reliable and worry-free operation.
