Product Description

The GE Nylon (R) syringe filter is designed for sterilization or clarification of aqueous and solvent samples in a wide array of analytical and research applications. It is primarily used to filter small aqueous and organic samples with low hold-up volume in order to inject them directly into the HPLC sample loop systems. The filtered samples ensure column protection.

The membrane filter in the GE Nylon (R) filter series is our naturally hydrophilic nylon, which contains no wetting agents and yields an exceptionally low extractable level of less than 0.0015 mg/cm².

Trouble-free operation and consistent test results, the Cameo GR filter features a 1.0 micron glass prefilter over our Magna nylon. This combination provides high throughputs and quick flow rates with high particulate or viscous samples.

The GE Nylon (RS) sterile filter is a presterilized, individually blister-packed 25 mm syringe filter designed for sterilization or clarification of aqueous samples up to 100 mL where low extractables and low holdup volumes are critical. Primary applications include filtering of biological fluids, buffer solutions and sterile filtering of tissue culture media.

The MAGNA nylon is pre-rinsed in methanol to completely eliminate any possible extractables, which could interfere with the results in sensitive applications. The Magna nylon filter resists temperatures up to 180°C (356°F.) (See Magna nylon membrane filters for a complete description of the membrane.) Pore sizes from 0.1 to 20.0 micron are available as standard or custom sizes in our syringe filters. Custom sizes require a 5,000 unit minimum.

The Cameo 3 mm housing is manufactured of pure nylon. The 17 mm and 30 mm housings are made of pure polypropylene. These units, nylon and polypropylene are highly temperature resistant and autoclavable. The units are compatible with most organic solvents including acetone, methylene chloride and acetonitrile. The housing for the 25 mm sterile unit is manufactured of a modified acrylic designed to bi-directionally support the membrane allowing sample injection or aspiration. The RS units are sterilized by gamma irradiation. All units are tested to verify the filter and housing integrity. The 17, 25 and 30 units are individually labeled with pore size and filter type for quick, easy identification. These units are tested to verify the filter and housing integrity.
