Application Sample Preparation
Polyethersulfone (PES) IC filters are certified to contain low ionic backgrounds for ion chromatography.
Advanced Filtration for Ion ChromatographyThe PES IC Acrodisc Syringe Filter offers optimal particle retention and minimal sample adsorption, making it a prime choice for ion chromatography and aqueous sample preparation. Its advanced polyethersulfone membrane allows high sample throughput while maintaining low protein binding, which preserves sample integrity and enhances reproducibility for sensitive laboratory analyses.
User-Friendly Engineering and CompatibilityBuilt with a 13 mm diameter and standard luer lock inlet, this filter fits seamlessly into common laboratory workflows. The polypropylene housing ensures chemical resistance, and the filters are well-suited for ambient temperature applications. Each filter is lightweight, simplifying handling when performing manual filtrations for various research and testing requirements.
FAQ's of Waters Corp PES IC Acrodisc Syringe Filter, 13 mm, 0.45 Am, 100/pk:
Q: How do I use the PES IC Acrodisc Syringe Filter for aqueous sample filtration?
A: Attach the syringe filter to a compatible syringe via the standard luer lock inlet, then gently push the aqueous sample through the filter. This efficiently removes particles larger than 0.45 m, making the filtered sample suitable for ion chromatography and other laboratory analyses.
Q: What is the main benefit of using a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane in this syringe filter?
A: The PES membrane provides excellent flow rates with low protein binding and high chemical resistance, ensuring accurate particle retention and minimal sample loss. This is particularly beneficial for high-throughput laboratories performing sensitive analyses.
Q: When should I choose this syringe filter for my laboratory work?
A: Select this filter when performing routine filtration of aqueous solutions or preparing samples for ion chromatography. Its high throughput, reliable particle retention, and compatibility with most aqueous samples make it ideal for frequent laboratory use.
Q: Where can I use the PES IC Acrodisc Syringe Filter in my workflow?
A: It is best suited for laboratories conducting ion chromatography or general aqueous sample filtration. It integrates easily into manual filtration setups where particles 0.45 m need to be removed from samples.
Q: What process should I follow for maximum efficiency and filter longevity?
A: Use the filter with compatible aqueous solutions, applying pressure up to 7 bar (100 psi) as recommended. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage. Dispose of each filter after single use to maintain consistency and reliability in results.
Q: Is this syringe filter suitable for filtering solvents as well as aqueous samples?
A: While primarily designed for aqueous sample filtration, the PES membrane and polypropylene housing offer some resistance to specific solvents. Always confirm chemical compatibility before filtering organic solvents to preserve filter integrity.
Q: What are the advantages of using a non-sterile, manual syringe filter?
A: Non-sterile filters are suitable for research and routine analyses where sterility is not a priority, allowing for cost-effective filtration. Manual operation provides straightforward, flexible use without the need for automation or specialized equipment.
