Filters, EZFlow® Syringe Filter, CA Membrane, FOXX Life Sciences

Cellulose acetate (CA) membranes have a very low binding affinity for most macromolecules and are especially recommended for applications requiring low protein binding, such as filtering culture media containing sera. However, both cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate membranes are naturally hydrophobic and have small amounts (less than 1%) of non-toxic wetting agents added during manufacture to ensure proper wetting of the membrane. If desired, these agents can be easily removed prior to use by filtering a small amount of warm purified water through the membrane or filter unit.

Foxx Life Sciences offers a wide range of EZFlow® 13mm, 25mm, and 33mm Syringe Filters are used for prefiltration, clarification, sterilization, or fine particulate removal. These syringe filters are available in a variety of filter membrane materials in both 0.2µm and 0.45µm pore sizes. The filter membranes are reinforced with polypropylene housing, with a female Luer-lok inlet and a male Luer slip outlet. All materials comply with USP Class VI Standards and are available for both sterile and non-sterile applications.
