Acrodisc® Syringe Filters with Supor® Membrane

Syringe Filters with High Flow Rates and Low Protein Binding

• Superior flow rates and higher throughputs than competitive devices.
• Low protein binding to minimize sample loss.
• Pre-sterilized products are sterilized by gamma irradiation to eliminate potential contamination by EtO residuals.
• A range of sizes (13 to 37 mm) accommodates sample volumes from < 10 to 150 mL.
• Acrodisc PF and Serum Acrodisc syringe filters feature built-in prefilter for increased throughput of difficult-to-filter liquids.
• Reduces mycoplasma with the use of 0.1 μm pore size.
