FAQ's of Waters Corp wwPTFE Acrodisc Mini Syringe Filter, 0.45 um 13 mm 100/Pk:
Q: How is the Waters Acrodisc Mini Syringe Filter used in laboratory applications?
A: This syringe filter is connected to a compatible syringe with a female Luer lock inlet and Luer slip outlet, allowing for the manual filtration of up to 10 mL samples. It is primarily used for sample clarification and preparation, particularly in HPLC analysis and biological sample processing.
Q: What are the benefits of the wwPTFE membrane in this syringe filter?
A: The wwPTFE membrane provides broad-spectrum chemical compatibility, allowing filtration of both aqueous and organic solvents. Its hydrophilic nature reduces the need for pre-rinsing and ensures minimal extractables, which is essential for high-accuracy laboratory work.
Q: When should I use the 0.45 m pore size and 13 mm diameter filter?
A: The 0.45 m pore size is ideal for removing fine particulates from samples, which is especially important before HPLC analysis. The 13 mm diameter and mini size are best suited for small volume samples up to 10 mL, maximizing filtration efficiency in minimal space.
Q: Where can I use the Waters Acrodisc Mini Syringe Filter?
A: This filter is suitable for use in laboratories conducting analytical research, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical sample preparation, and routine water or solvent filtration. Its versatility makes it a good choice for a wide range of scientific settings.
Q: What is the recommended process for filtering samples using this syringe filter?
A: Attach the syringe filter to your syringe containing the sample using the female Luer lock inlet, then manually push the sample through the filter. The filtrate can then be collected for analysis, ensuring contaminants and particulates are effectively removed.
Q: How does the chemical compatibility of the wwPTFE filter benefit laboratory workflows?
A: Its compatibility with both aqueous and organic solvents minimizes the need to switch filters between applications, streamlining the workflow and reducing potential cross-contamination in labs dealing with diverse sample types.
