What is acrodisc filter?
What is acrodisc filter?
Acrodisc PF and Serum Acrodisc syringe filters feature built-in prefilter for increased throughput of difficult-to-filter liquids. Reduces mycoplasma with the use of 0.1 μm pore size.
How do I choose a syringe filter membrane?
Selecting Right Membrane Syringe Filter Choose the porosity of the filter based on the size of potential particulates that may be present in your sample. Remember, the finer the porosity the more pressure it will take to pass sample through the filter.
What is the function of syringe filter?
While the primary function of a syringe filter is to remove particulates from a liquid sample, you will select either a sterile or non-sterile filter, depending on the end application. Sterile syringe filters are used to sterilize non-sterile solutions or clarify sterile solutions.
What is Supor membrane?
Supor® (polyethersulfone) membrane provides high throughput and fast flow rate. The filters of 0.2 and 0.45 μm pore sizes provide sterilization of small volumes of buffers, culture media, and additives. Low protein binding to minimize sample loss.
What is PVDF syringe filter?
These Polyvinyl Difluoride (PVDF) syringe filters are both low protein binding and possess high flow rates.
What is a 0.2 micron filter?
0.2 microns is the most difficult particle size to capture. All particles larger or smaller than 0.2 microns will be captured at an equal or greater efficiency than 0.2 microns. Sterile air filters are designed specifically to remove microorganisms, and the average size of bacteria is 0.2 microns.
What is a low protein binding filter?
On the other hand, low protein binding syringe filters are made from membrane materials that don’t absorb proteins. These filters are designed to minimize protein sample loss and provide great performance and flow rates.
Is PES hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophilic membrane
PES is an inherently hydrophilic membrane that wets out quickly and completely resulting in fast filtration with superior flow rates and high throughputs. PES membrane is also extremely low protein binding minimizing the likelihood of target analyte binding.
