Overview
Acrodisc™ syringe filters with PTFE membrane, a Pall Life Sciences product, provide exceptional chemical and temperature compatibility.
- Ideal for filtration of gas and/or organic solvents.
- Prevents spurious peaks on chromatograms for accurate experimental results. HPLC certified for low levels of UV-absorbing extractables.
- Prevents air bubble lock when filling sample vials with 13 mm minispike outlet.
- 4 mm device offers the lowest sample hold-up (< 10 μL) and is useful for samples up to 2 mL in volume.

Applications
- Ultimate in chemical compatibility for filtering harsh chemicals that destroy other membrane materials.
- The Acrodisc PSF GxF syringe filter provides two to four times the throughput of standard prefilter devices.
- Moisture barrier for venting applications.
- 25 mm Acrodisc PSF syringe filter is available in robotic-compatible AutoPack™ packaging.
