Filtermate Analytical Filtration System (PTFE Laboratory Grade)

Description

Professional Analytical Hardware: The FilterMate® Filtration System is a precision-engineered laboratory tool designed for efficient particulate removal in complex scientific workflows. This system utilizes a specialized PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane, offering superior chemical resistance for environmental sampling and analytical chemistry.

Clinical Design Features:

• Contamination-Free Workflow: Designed for direct-to-vessel filtration, eliminating the need for sample transfer steps and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
• High-Performance PTFE Membrane: Naturally hydrophobic 5.0µm PTFE filter ensures compatibility with aggressive reagents and organic solvents.
• Streamlined Integration: Optimized for use with laboratory autosamplers and standard research vessels.

Professional Distribution Notice:

These units are sourced in bulk clinical quantities and distributed as individual units to support low-volume laboratory research and pilot studies. Each unit is handled in a controlled environment to maintain technical integrity.

Technical Application Q&A:

• Porosity: These units feature a 5.0 micron (µm) technical porosity for pre-filtration and particulate removal.
• Aqueous Matrix Note: For filtration of aqueous (water-based) samples, standard laboratory surface-tension reduction protocols should be followed due to the hydrophobic nature of the PTFE membrane.
• Groundwater Analysis: Ideal for environmental groundwater sampling. Users should verify analyte compatibility with PTFE according to EPA or ISO standards.

Notice: This hardware is intended for laboratory research and professional analytical use only. Not for human injection.

Common Q&A:

•  These filters have a 5.0 micron porosity.
• The filter inside is PTFE which is suitable for this digestion. Be aware that PTFE is hydrophobic and will slightly resist filtration of aqueous matrices. Low pH, such as that resulting from acid digestion will assist in overcoming this.
• Product sold in packs of 100 from manufacturer; we have repackaged for individual sale.
• This filter can be used for groundwater samples. The important question is the analytes you are looking for and what method you need to follow. Important points to consider are the analytes of interest in your samples, the preservatives or other chemical process used prior to filtering, the purpose of the filtering, the need for access to the solid material filtered out of the sample, and if the entire aliquot of sample needs to be filtered or not
