The Definition of Syringe Filter

Syringe filter is a kind of disposal filter cartridge, which is attached at the end of injector for using. It is optional to use syringe needles, if it is possible, it could be installed in the end.

The body of syringe filter could be made of polypropylene, nylon and so on, while thin films consist of PTFE, nylon or other materials which are treated specially. It is generally made of plastic shells and thin films which acts as filters.

Due to the cheap price, it could be applied in normal filtration especially when the filtered volume is small but the filter paper is large. The liquid which needs to be purified could be extracted from syringes and cleaned by filters. The unfiltered liquid could be squeezed out from filters for cleaning as well.

Syringe filter could be used to remove particles from the sample before HPLC analysis. Syringe filter could also be used for gas filtration where bacteria is probable to be eliminated from the sample. Moreover, disk filters are usually used for producing parenteral drugs and sterile eye drops in order to clean the microbial contamination.

Categories Of Syringe Filter In Hawach

According to the given principles of Hawach, there are three general sorts of syringe filter products specially designed for different customers' requirements.

FILTSTAR Series

With a high class, transparent color and imported membrane, the FILTSTAR is obviously distinguished with three standards, one of which is whether the filter has pre-filtration(for the PP or GF), the other is the sterilization method, and the rest depends on membrane materials(Active Carbon/ Nylon/ PTFE/ PTFE L/ PES/ PVDF/ MCE/ CA/ GF/ PP).

WINSTAR Series

This one is manufactured with lower classification, colored ring and domestic membranes. However, compared with the FILSTSR, it merely possesses non-sterile products and less membrane materials(Nylon/ PTFE/ PTFE L/ PES/ PVDF/ PVDF L ).

PURSTAR Series

It is high classified, designed with transparent color and the same membrane as Millipore, but PURSTAR still has less materials in the membrane as Nylon/ PTFE/ PTFE-L/ PVDF are recorded.

In addition, the usage range of different membranes seems to be worth mention. The table below specifically demonstrates various applications.
