Acrodisc non-sterile syringe filters

Acrodisc™ syringe filters with nylon membrane, a Pall Life Sciences product, provide excellent chemical compatibility with esters, bases, and alcohols.

• Saves time because no prewetting is required.
• Excellent chemical compatibility with esters, bases, and alcohols.
• Saves time because no prewetting is required.
• Easy filtration of particulate-laden samples with the glass fiber prefilter version.
• 13 mm device with minispike configuration offers low hold-up and easy filtration into autosampler vials.
• Prevents spurious peaks on chromatograms for accurate experimental results. HPLC certified for low levels of UV-absorbing extractables.
