A
simple invention can save a lot of lives, with impurities rising in the
solubles around you, Syringe Filters are
some inventions that are helping save lives by doing so less. Filtration
process is mundane, but a very crucial step followed in multiple industries.
The water that is supplied  at your home
is also filled with impurities that 
need  to be filtered to avoid
chronic health problems.Even in the 
pharmaceutical laboratory the chemical and salts are  filtered out of micro solid particles and
impurities that may cause unpredictable 
failures and cost a ton.  
With
the rising demand of filters  the filter
industries have produced a wide range of options to  work with. Having different abilities to
filter the solutions at home, industries, labs, and  hospitals too. Syringe filters built with the
purpose  to provide the highest level of
performance  and purity to your
solutions. Majority of the filters and membranes cater to the need of these
industries demanding specific specs for distinct  use cases.
                                           
Polyvinylidene
Fluoride has extremely low protein binding it is used for non-aggressive
aqueous and mild organic solution. Also used for maximizing the protein in a
solution. 
Talking
about some features and benefits of 
PVDF, it has good heat endurance, chemical stability and strong
hydrophobicity. They provide effective filtration for a wide variety of sample
types  ranging from 0.22 micron to 0.45
micron. They can withstand pressures up to 5 bar, proving that it has high
housing integrity. Designed out of female luer-lok inlet and male luer slip outlet.
They have various applications like Gas filtration, vapour filtration,
high-temperature filtration, medicine filtration and it also play a role in
food industries as well.
Mixed
cellulose Ester effectively binds trace
protein and filters aqueous solutions.
It
has a uniform aperture, with a thin texture and high filtration and speed.
These Cell culture membranes provide effective filtration for a wide variety of
sample types. Similar to PVDF this syringe also can withstand a pressure of 5
bars, designed with  similar inlets and
outlets. These filters also have greater application with some  extra to what PVDF does. It filters gas, oil,
alcohol and other solvent  particulate
and bacterial matter and then inspect them. 
Polyethersulfone
comes with low affinity proteins and is extractable with substantially faster
flow rate than PVDF. It is suitable for pre-filtration and filtration of buffer
and clutter media. It has high filtration speed, low extractables and has the
lowest protein binding. With similar physical 
specs as of the above filter membrane. Its applications  don't cover much due to its one difference,
that is so the low protein binding. Naming some of its applications, Sterile
filter protein solutions tissue filter protein solution, tissue clutter media
filtration, tissue culture additive filtration.
