Syringe filters are attached to the end of a syringe to remove particles from a sample prior to analysis. Filtering liquids, the single-use devices force liquids through the filter either when fluids are initially drawn or delivered. Circular shaped in diameters that fit common syringe sizes, the cartridges remove fragments that would otherwise damage narrow bore equipment. Certified for low levels of UV-absorbing extractables, the syringe filters purify liquids for reproducible results.

Syringe filters are available with a choice of membrane type: Polyethersulfone (PES) for low protein binding and faster flow rates; surfactant-free cellulose acetate (SFCA), with or without prefilter, for lowest protein binding; Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for chemical resistance; regenerated cellulose (RC) – the best choice for DMSO compatibility; and nylon (NY) which is hydrophilic, surfactant-free and lowest extractable.
