non sterile syringe filters
Non sterile syringe filters are essential laboratory tools designed for efficient sample preparation and purification processes. These filtration devices consist of a housing unit and a membrane filter, specifically engineered to remove particles, microorganisms, and other contaminants from liquid samples. The filters typically range in pore size from 0.22 to 0.45 micrometers, making them ideal for various laboratory applications. They feature a user-friendly luer lock or slip fit design that enables secure attachment to standard syringes, ensuring reliable filtration without leakage. The housing is constructed from durable materials such as polypropylene, while the membrane options include materials like polyethersulfone (PES), nylon, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), each suited for different chemical compatibilities. These filters are widely used in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, environmental testing, and academic laboratories for applications such as HPLC sample preparation, sterile filtration of cell culture media, and clarification of solutions. Their disposable nature eliminates cross-contamination risks, while their compact size allows for easy handling and storage.
