Key Definitions ▶
Syringe Filter
A disposable filtration device attached to a syringe that removes particulates from liquid samples prior to HPLC, LC/MS, or general laboratory analysis.
Membrane
The porous internal filter material responsible for particle retention and chemical compatibility, available in multiple chemistries to match different sample types.
Pore Size
The nominal opening size of the membrane (such as 0.2 µm or 0.45 µm) that determines the level of particulate removal and influences flow rate.
Low Extractables
A quality characteristic indicating minimal leaching of materials from the filter, helping ensure clean baselines and reliable quantitative results in HPLC and LC/MS workflows.
Housing Material
The external filter body, typically manufactured from virgin polypropylene or MBS, providing mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and burst protection during filtration.
