13, 25,
l Bandedpolypropylene housing ensures lab safety preventing the housing from bursting
l Color-codedhousing allows for easy identification of membrane
l Forsample volumes of <10mL
l Retentionvolume < 25μL
l Maximumoperating temperature: 100°C autoclave at 120°C for 15 minutes
l Maximumoperating pressure approximately 100 psi
Instructions for Use
l To minimize fluid retention on the membrane, draw 1mL of air into the syringe before filling. This will also serve as a final air purge. Draw sample into the syringe until full.
l Secure the inlet of the filter to the filled syringe with a twisting motion, being careful not to use excessive force.
l Hold the syringe with the filter attached vertically. This will permit proper wetting of the membrane preventing air block and initiating enhanced and proper flow rates.
l Depress the syringe plunger gently. It is recommended that the first 0.25 to 0.50mL of filtrate be discarded.
Note: If increased pressure is required this is an indication that the filter is maximized and needs to be changed.
