Acrodisc, Syringe Filter, PVDF, 13 mm, 0.45 µm, Protein, 100/case
Waters knows that proper and reliable filtration of samples and solvents is not only an important preventative measure in your laboratory, but that you rely on these functions to save time and money in sample analysis. A filter you can rely on provides immediate protection for the components of columns and other lab equipment, allowing for increased productivity and minimal system downtime. In addition, the Acrodisc, Syringe Filter, PVDF is Certified for Compliance, indicating they have been designed and developed to offer all the benefits of filtration while complying with objectives for both regulation and quality.
The PVDF membrane used on the Acrodisc, Syringe Filter, PVDF is made from hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride that is suitable for both aqueous and organic solvents. Recommended uses of this membrane include acids and aqueous solutions. Benefits of the PVDF membrane include reliable performance, a smooth filter to filter release, consistent turret advancement, exceptional housing strength, and strict outside filter geometry.
Each case of Acrodisc, Syringe Filter, PVDF contains 100 filters, with a pore size of 0.45 µm and a diameter of 13 mm, with a hold-up volume of >30 mL. For larger volumes, Acrodisc, Syringe Filter, PVDF, 13 mm, 0.45 µm, Protein, 1000/pk is also available.
Pall Life Sciences produces all Acrodisc filters in strict adherence with cGMPs and cleanroom practices. Pall is also registered to the ISO 9001 Quality Systems Standards. Additional quality control is performed in-house to measure liquid flow rates, bubble point, burst test, and liquid UV/IC standards. These tests, in addition to the innovative technology used, ensure protection of analytical instruments, creating integrity in your results and productivity in laboratories.
What Is Hold-Up Volume?
When determining the proper filter, one factor to consider is the hold-up volume, or the volume of liquid remaining in the filter after use. When using expensive fluids or those with limited availability, a filter with low hold-up volume is recommended, while this may be less important in more common fluids. Acrodisc filters offer a variety of device sizes, including the desired hold-up volumes. Many of the 13 mm filters offered have a hold-up volume of >30 mL. Prefilters can also be used when samples are particularly difficult to filter.
