Yes, the presterilized syringe filters may be used after passing their expiration date. However, we cannot guarantee that the filters are still sterile in the packaging. For applications that are sensitive to microbial contamination, the expired filters should be chemically sterilized, or gamma sterilized, prior to use. The expiration date only applies to filter sterility and is not relevant to filter performance. If stored sealed in their original packaging in climate controlled environments, it is expected that expired filters will have normal flow and retention characteristics.
Yes, for water and some aqueous solutions, a hydrophobic membrane syringe filter installed in the tubing between the vacuum pump and the receiving flask can prevent accidental overflows from reaching the vacuum pump. Sterlitech recommends PTFEVS4550BAR10 (https://www.sterlitech.com/ptfevs4565bar10.html) for this application. Please note that this method will not work for low surface tension fluids, such as alcohols and solvents.
No, syringes are not included with syringe filters orders. We may be able to offer syringes separately; please contact [emailprotected] for pricing and availability.
The syringe filter area, and other specifications, are readily available at www.sterlitech.com. Please go to the product page for your syringe filter and click the “Application/Specification” tab near the middle of the page. You can read the filter area from this tab; make sure to scroll down as necessary. Please contact [emailprotected] if you need assistance.
No, the syringe filter size refers to the nominal diameter of the disk filter contained within. Necessarily, the outer diameter of the housing is somewhat larger than the labeled size. For example, the 25mm presterilized syringe filters offered by Sterlitech have a housing outer diameter of 33mm.
The maximum recommended operating temperature for the syringe filters when used with compatible fluids is 60°C. When operating at high temperatures, the housing strength is reduced and it may be necessary to limit the applied pressure. Appropriate safety precautions, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), should be used when working with hot fluids.
From our standard offering, the nylon membrane syringe filters (https://www.sterlitech.com/nylon-syringe-filters.html) have the smallest pore size rating available at 0.1µm. Sterlitech can provide custom syringe filters (https://www.sterlitech.com/custom-syringe-filters.html) with pore size ratings down to 0.05µm. Please contact [emailprotected] to inquire about availability and pricing.
The standard Sterlitech syringe filters that are 30mm in size or smaller have female luer lock inlet connection and male luer slip outlet connection. For customers that require different connections, Sterlitech offers custom syringe filters with a variety of connection options for your convenience at https://www.sterlitech.com/custom-syringe-filters.html. Please contact [emailprotected] to inquire about availability and pricing.
From our standard offering, the largest pore size rating available is 5 microns. Bothcellulose acetate (https://www.sterlitech.com/cellulose-acetate-syringe-filters.html) and nylon (https://www.sterlitech.com/nylon-syringe-filters.html) membrane syringe filters are available with 5 micron pore size rating. Sterlitech can provide custom syringe filters (https://www.sterlitech.com/custom-syringe-filters.html) with pore size ratings up to 250 microns. Please contact [emailprotected] to inquire about availability and pricing.
Yes, some of the syringe filters offer by Sterlitech may be autoclave sterlized. The exceptions are syringe filters with mixed cellulose esters (MCE) membrane and syringe filters with acrylic housings.
The syringe filters are primarily intended for laboratory use. The syringe filters maybe evaluated for pharmaceutical applications; however, it would be the responsibility of the user to comply with all pertinent regulations. Please contact [emailprotected] if you need assistance.
Mostof the syringe filters offered by Sterlitech do not contain surfactants. The exceptions are syringe filters with cellulose acetate (CA) and mixed cellulose esters (MCE) membranes. CA and MCE membranesare treated with surfactants to ensure good wettability.
Q. Are Sterlitech Syringe Filters certified pyrogen free?
A. No, we do not perform pyrogen tests on our filters.
Q. What are the maximum filtration volumes for the 17mm and 30mm syringe filters?
A. The 17mm and 30mm syringe filters offer greater filtration volume than smaller filters.
- 17 - 12ml
- 17 with glass fiber prefilter - 20ml
- 30 - 120ml
- 30 with glass fiber prefilter - 180ml
The standard Sterlitech sterile syringe filters are sterilized by controlled exposure to gamma irradiation. The amount of irradiation is carefully controlled to ensure a sufficient dose for sterility. The effectiveness of the treatment is monitored for each lot by using strategically placed spore strips and sterility is confirmed before a lot is released for sale.
The glass fiber prefilter reduces the particle loading experienced by the membrane final filter and, consequently, extends the service life. For some applications with fluids containing high levels of suspended solids, a syringe filter with an incorporated glass fiber prefilter will usually have greater total throughput when comparted to one without a prefilter.
Because of their low inherent levels of extractables, nylon membrane syringe filters are commonly used to filter samples that are intended for HPLC analysis. Nylon membrane syringe filters may not be suitable for all samples and are ideal for near neutral pH aqueous solutions and compatible nonaqueous solvents. For samples composed of acids and bases, hydrophilic PTFE membrane syringe filters and PES membrane syringe filters may be considered. For samples composed of nonaqueous solvents that are not compatible with nylon, PTFE membrane syringe filters and polypropylene membrane syringe filters may be considered. For aqueous samples containing proteins, or similar large organic molecules of interest, syringe filters containing membranes with low inherent protein binding characteristics, such as cellulose acetate (CA), should be considered to ensure maximum recovery.
It would be expected that syringe filters containing absolute rated membrane media would be approximately equivalent regardless of supplier for filters that have the same size, same membrane material and same pore size rating. This is not the case for syringe filters containing nominally rated media such as glass fiber or nonwoven polypropylene. When considering alternative suppliers for nominally rated syringe filters, the user cannot typically rely on pore size rating alone. A more careful consideration of the media specifications, if available from the supplier, can help inform selection.
Yes, we can provide certificates of conformance (CoC) with syringe filter orders. Please make sure to the request the certificate when placing your order.
FAQs
What is a 0.22 micron filter used for? ›
The 0.22-micron filter is one of the smallest used in patient care, and removes bacteria. There are not currently filters that remove viruses. Not all intravenous medications should be administered through a filter, and others may require filters of a specific size.
What does a nylon syringe filter do? ›Nylon syringe filters: These filters are made from nylon and are suitable for the filtration of aqueous and organic solutions. They are known for their excellent chemical resistance and can filter samples containing proteins, nucleic acids, and fine particles.
What is the price of 25mm syringe filter? ›PVDF Syringe Filter, Size: 0.45 Ul, Pore Size: 25mm at Rs 1100/pack in Pune.
What is the best syringe filter material? ›Hydrophilic syringe filters are the most popular choice for filtering aqueous solutions. Nylon, polyethersulfone, and cellulose acetate syringe filters, to name a few, will efficiently and naturally filter water based solutions due to their hydrophilic properties.
Do you want a higher or lower micron filter? ›The smaller the micron rating, the faster the filter fills up. To prevent clogging, it is sometimes suggested to use more than one filter when there are a lot of particles, dirt, and debris to be filtered. A 5 micron rating works well in many industries, including the food and beverage industry.
Is higher or lower micron filter better? ›When filtering solids from liquids, the smaller the micron rating, the more effective the filter and the greater the number of particles that are removed from the final filtrate.
How many times can you use a syringe filter? ›Never re-use a syringe filter, even if it looks perfectly clean. Whatman products filter out extremely fine particulate that may not be visible to the naked eye. Ensure the consistency of your results by discarding filters after a single use.
Is nylon a good filter? ›Nylon filters yield excellent performance, and are a good cost-effective option for those who wish to avoid the expense of more costly materials.
Can you inject with a filter needle? ›Filter Needle: A filter needle has a 5 micron filter at the base of a syringe needle. The filter creates a one-way flow when withdrawing or injecting fluid into or from the syringe. The filter needle can be used either to withdraw or to inject but never for both; it should only be pulled or pushed in one direction.
Can syringe filters be reused? ›Syringe filters, which are about the size of a checkers game piece, are a key part of any lab setting but are not reusable and can make up a large portion of waste from a facility.
What is the shelf life of syringe filters? ›
Nalgene sterile syringe filters have a three-year shelf life, with lot number and expiration date printed on individual syringe filter packages for easy traceability.
What is the most common syringe filter? ›Syringe Filters by Pore Size
0.45 μm and 0.2/0.22 μm are the two most frequently used membrane pore sizes for research and medical applications.
What is better 1-micron or 5-micron? Generally speaking, a 5 micron filter is better for removing larger particles from your water such as sediment and rust, while a 1 micron filter is better for capturing smaller particles like bacteria and cysts.
What is the difference between 0.2 and 0.22 micron filter? ›What that means is, for the purpose of sterilization, 0.2 micron and 0.22 micron filters are indistinguishable. Their performance is the same, only the difference being the designation of their pore size rating.
What is the difference between 0.22 and 0.45 micron filter? ›0.45 um membranes are typically used for general filtration and particle removal while 0.2/0.22um membranes, or sterilizing-grade membranes, are most commonly used for solution sterilization (bacteria removal).
Which is bigger 100 micron or 200 micron? ›They measure the holes in the mesh in microns, so the higher the number, the larger the holes. 100 micron mesh holes are 0.003925” compared to 600 micron mesh which is 0.023550”. 400 micron mesh has 0.015700” holes, and 200 micron mesh has 0.007850” holes.
What micron filter will remove bacteria? ›Look for a filter that has a pore size of 1 micron or less. This will remove microbes 1 micron or greater in diameter (Cryptosporidium, Giardia).
Which is finer 5 micron or 25 micron? ›A 25-micron sediment filter catches large dirt and debris, dust, sand, silt, and asbestos. A 5-micron filter removes all of the above plus certain pathogens and even more dust, silt, and asbestos. Many households can benefit from using a 25-micron filter in at least one step of their overall filtration.
Is a 1 micron filter better than a 25 micron filter? ›Smaller isn't always better.
The smaller the micron rating, the more contaminants will be removed. That being said, flow rate loss is a possibility. To ensure there is little to no flow loss, a filter with a higher micron rating or a larger pump is required.
HEPA, or High-Efficiency Particulate Air, filters have even higher MERV ratings, ranging from 17 to 20. These filters are extremely efficient and are used in cases where air quality is critical. They can remove almost all of the particulates in your facility's indoor air.
How good is 100 micron filter? ›
The lower the micron rating, the more capable a filter is of removing smaller particles. Common well water filter micron ratings: 100: Can block large particles like rust and sand. 50: Can remove dust, tinier sand particles, and other small but visible contaminants.
Can I use the same syringe twice on myself? ›It is not safe to change the needle and reuse the syringe – this practice can transmit disease.
Can you clean syringe filters? ›Cleaning Syringe Filters
For cleaning the syringe filter, first the distilled water is pumped repeatedly with a needle tube, then it is subjected to ultrasonic for around 20 minutes, then it is soaked in distilled water for more than 5 hours, and finally it is withdrawn and dried at approximately 40 degrees.
Disadvantages of Nylon
1)As nylon is fire-resistant, it easily melts. It can also easily shrink and react with moisture, allowing it to be stretched. 2)Nylon is hygroscopic in nature, so even from the air it easily absorbs water. 3)Nylon swells and deteriorates rapidly when it gets wet.

Both nylon and polyester rate well for strength and durability. But when we make a direct comparison, nylon is stronger and stretchier than polyester, meaning garments made from nylon should last longer. Nylon falls down slightly when it comes to abrasion resistance.
How deep should you inject a needle? ›The point of the triangle is at the level of the armpit. Put the injection in the center of the triangle of the muscle. This should be 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) below that bone.
How deep should a needle be for an injection? ›Most adolescents and adults will require a 1- to 1.5-inch (25–38 mm) needle to ensure intramuscular administration.
Do you put the needle all the way in when injecting? ›Answer: Yes, the needle needs to go in all the way.
What happens if you reuse your old filter? ›If you do that, you'd be damaging the filter media. This will render the filter unable to do its job. The paper filter media may even tear off and contaminate the engine.
How do you clean a needle syringe for reusing? ›
Pour some undiluted (full-strength, no water added) bleach into a cup, cap or something that only you will use. Fill the syringe by drawing the bleach up through the needle to the top of the syringe. Shake it around and tap it. Leave the bleach in the syringe for at least 30 seconds.
Do unused filters expire? ›In short, no, unused water filters do not expire. There is no set shelf life for water filters, as long as they're not exposed to any moisture. That's the key — moisture is what makes water filters work, and without that, they're sitting pretty and ready for use at any time.
Do syringes ever expire? ›Yes, they have a five-year shelf life. They should always be stored in a temperate, dry area. Q. Can insulin syringes be pre-filled?
Does empty syringe expire? ›They sure do, just like beer and Cool Ranch Doritos, both syringes and pen needles expire. Well… more accurately put, like almost all diabetes supplies, they have expiration dates.

What are the four major types of filters? ›Filters serve a critical role in many common applications. Such applications include power supplies, audio electronics, and radio communications. Filters can be active or passive, and the four main types of filters are low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch/band-reject (though there are also all-pass filters).
Why use a 0.2 micron filter? ›Filtration of liquids through 0.2-μm filters is a common and often-used method for the removal of microorganisms from heat-sensitive solutions. Such 0.2 μm filtrations are frequently referred to as 'sterile filtration', reflecting the general belief that all living organisms are excluded from the filtrate.
Which is better 10 micron or 100 micron? ›Since a 10 micron filter is too restrictive on the inlet side, a less restrictive filter is preferred. For inline pumps where it is located outside the tank, a 100 micron pre-filter is recommended.
Is 0.2 micron filter enough? ›
0.2 microns is the most difficult particle size to capture. All particles larger or smaller than 0.2 microns will be captured at an equal or greater efficiency than 0.2 microns. Sterile air filters are designed specifically to remove microorganisms, and the average size of bacteria is 0.2 microns.
What can pass through a 0.22 micron filter? ›Scanning electron microscopy showed bacteria passing-through the 0.22- micro m filter. Millipore membrane filters having well-defined reticulate structures will be useful in the study of infiltration activity of microbes.
What is a .22 micron filter used for? ›The 0.22-micron filter is one of the smallest used in patient care, and removes bacteria. There are not currently filters that remove viruses. Not all intravenous medications should be administered through a filter, and others may require filters of a specific size.
Can viruses pass through 0.22 micron filter? ›Some cell-associated viruses may pass through 0.22-μm or 0.45-μm filters and could be lost during the viral DNA extraction process if they are within ultrasmall bacteria that are common in aquatic environments (24).
What size filter is sterile? ›Filtering through a 0.2 µm pore size is considered necessary to produce a sterile filtrate.
Which is a finer filter 10 micron or 30 micron? ›Filters with a larger micron rating allow larger particles through the system. Usually, a 10-micron filter is used for unleaded gasoline, and a 30-micron filter is used for diesel fuel. A 30-micron filter used in an unleaded dispenser unit can allow unwanted particles to pass through to the customer's vehicle.
Would a syringe filter with a pore size of 0.22 micrometers be able to completely remove all microorganisms including viruses? ›The typical microfiltration membrane pore size range is 0.1-10 µm, with the most commonly used being 0.2 µm; and 0.45 µm is sufficient to eliminate bacteria and fungi. Figure: Syringe Filter: A syringe filter with a pore size of 0.22 micrometers, small enough to capture and retain bacterial and fungal cells.
What is difference between 0.45 and 0.22 micron filter? ›The 0.45 µm mixed esters of cellulose filter is the currently accepted membrane for this purpose and is typically used by Validation Services. The 0.22 µm filters, despite their ability to retain higher levels of bacteria, proved not to have an advantage over 0.45 µm membranes in terms of bacterial recovery.
What is the difference between 0.2 micron filter and 0.22 micron filter? ›What that means is, for the purpose of sterilization, 0.2 micron and 0.22 micron filters are indistinguishable. Their performance is the same, only the difference being the designation of their pore size rating.
What is the difference between a 1.2 micron filter and a 0.22 micron filter? ›There are two main IV filter pore sizes; the 0.2 micron filter is used for aqueous solutions, and the 1.2 micron filter is recommended for larger molecule solutions such as lipids. The 0.2 micron filter has also been reported to remove air, microorganisms and particulate matter.
Does a 0.22 micron filter remove bacteria? ›
Critical Process Filtration Sterilizing Filter Options
Critical Process Filtration offers the following choices for sterilizing filtration. All are validated for bacteria removal (0.22 and 0.1 microns), mycoplasma reduction (0.1 microns), and mycoplasma removal (0.03 microns).
A 25-micron sediment filter catches large dirt and debris, dust, sand, silt, and asbestos. A 5-micron filter removes all of the above plus certain pathogens and even more dust, silt, and asbestos. Many households can benefit from using a 25-micron filter in at least one step of their overall filtration.
What is the best micron filter rating? ›Key Takeaway: A water filter's micron rating is important for determining the quality of drinking water. 0.5-micron filters can remove most bacteria and cysts, 1-micron filters can remove bacteria, parasites and some viruses like HAV, while 5-micron filters are ideal for sediment removal without sacrificing flow rate.
Is a 200 micron filter finer than a 100 micron? ›They measure the holes in the mesh in microns, so the higher the number, the larger the holes. 100 micron mesh holes are 0.003925” compared to 600 micron mesh which is 0.023550”. 400 micron mesh has 0.015700” holes, and 200 micron mesh has 0.007850” holes.
What is a better filter 10 micron or 100 micron? ›Since a 10 micron filter is too restrictive on the inlet side, a less restrictive filter is preferred. For inline pumps where it is located outside the tank, a 100 micron pre-filter is recommended.
Which is better .5 or 1 micron filter? ›The smaller the micron number the better. Try imagining microns like a sieve. A 5 micron water filter will sieve out particles that you can see – but all the other smaller particles will pass through it into your drinking water. By contrast a 1 micron filter will remove particles not visible to the naked eye.
Which is finer 125 micron or 200 micron? ›A: 125 is finer. The number is the size of the holes in the strainer. So, the smaller number let's smaller particles through whereas the bigger number lets bigger partials through, 60% bigger particles. So, rule of thumb, smaller number allows smaller partials to pass through.
What is a 0.2 micron filter used for? ›Filtration of liquids through 0.2-microm filters is a common and often-used method for the removal of microorganisms from heat-sensitive solutions. Such 0.2 microm filtrations are frequently referred to as 'sterile filtration', reflecting the general belief that all living organisms are excluded from the filtrate.
