CHROMAFIL® Syringe Filters – Nylon (NYL)

  • Rather hydrophilic material
  • For aqueous or organic/aqueous medium polar liquids

Nylon syringe filters are a type of filter commonly used in laboratory settings for the filtration of aqueous and organic solvents, as well as other liquids. These filters are made from a porous nylon membrane that is placed inside a plastic housing, which is typically attached to the end of a syringe.

The porous nylon membrane of the filter allows for the removal of particulates and microorganisms from the liquid being filtered. The membrane has a defined pore size, typically ranging from 0.2 to 0.45 microns, which determines the size of particles that can be filtered out. The nylon membrane is also resistant to many solvents and chemicals, making it suitable for use with a wide range of substances.

Syringe filters with nylon membranes are commonly used in applications such as sample preparation, clarification, and sterilization. They are particularly useful for filtering small volumes of liquid, typically ranging from 0.1 to 100 milliliters, and are often used in analytical and research laboratories.

When selecting a nylon syringe filter, it is important to consider the specific application, the type of liquid being filtered, and the desired pore size. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and to properly dispose of used filters to avoid contamination or exposure to hazardous materials.

CHROMAFIL Disposable Filters

This table lists the chemical compatibility of our CHROMAFIL materials. The chemical compatibility depends on several parameters such as time, pressure and concentration. In most cases, CHROMAFIL filters will have only short contact with a solvent. In these cases they may be used despite limited compatibility. For example, a PTFE filter with PP housing does not liberate any UV-detectable substances during filtration of 5 ml THF, although PP shows only limited resistance towards THF.
