Product Description

The GE cellulose acetate (A) syringe filter is well suited for maximum sample recovery such as tissue culture media preparation, sterile or non-sterile filtration and clarification of biological fluids, protein and enzyme filtrations, hybridization buffers, and other aqueous solutions.

The sterile GE cellulose acetate (AS) or with a glass fiber prefilter (AGS) is recommended to filter probe solutions. The GE cellulose acetate (A) series syringe filters are designed to sterilize and remove particulates from proteinaceous samples. Due to the extremely low holdup volume the negligible protein-binding characteristics, these syringe filter units are ideal for applications requiring maximum sample recovery from a standard or presterilized syringe filter.

The membrane filter is GE Osmonics' Cellulose Acetate, which eliminates the possibility of "popping" the filter. See GE Cellulose Acetate for a detailed description of the membrane in the filters. The GE 17AG (17 mm), 25AG, 25AGS (25 mm), 30AG (30 mm) syringe filters contain a 1.0 micron borosilicate glass prefilter and our GE Cellulose Acetate membrane filter specifically designed to combine high throughputs and maximum sample recovery when filtering or sterilizing viscous proteinaceous solutions. The prefilter and membrane are contained in the acrylic housing without adhesives.

The GE cellulose acetate (AS) filters are individually packaged, gamma irradiation pre-sterilized syringe filters. Other than the 3 mm the other sizes offer bi-directionally support of the membrane allowing sample injection or aspiration and are individually labeled with pore size and filter type for quick, easy identification. All units are tested to verify the filter and housing integrity.
