Syringe Filters, 4mm, RC, 0.45um Pore Size. Brown Polypropylene, AQ Brand. 50/PK.
Additional Info:
The 58045-R04-A AQ™ Syringe Filters are pharmaceutical-grade, ultra-low volume regenerated cellulose (RC) membrane filters designed for HPLC sample preparation and dissolution testing in regulated laboratory environments. Featuring a 0.45 µm regenerated cellulose membrane, these filters deliver low extractables, high analyte recovery, and consistent chromatographic performance, even with very small sample volumes.
Regenerated cellulose membranes offer very low protein binding and minimal hold-up volume, making them ideal for protein solutions, buffers, and cell culture media, especially when maximum recovery is critical.
✅ Critical Compliance Advantage (No Flush Required)
Validated to meet key regulatory standards:
US FDA CFR Title 21, Part 211.92 – minimum fiber release
USP <788> – particulate matter in injectables
USP “Sterile Water for Injection”
Benefits:
✅ No initial flushing required
✅ No 20 µL discard required
✅ Maximizes recovery of micro-volume samples
✅ Reduces risk of failed methods
Performance & Design
The 0.45 µm pore size is optimized for sample clarification and prefiltration, ensuring reliable particulate removal and consistent flow.
The RC membrane provides low adsorption and maximum analyte recovery, making it ideal for biological and aqueous workflows.
The 4 mm format minimizes hold-up volume, making it ideal for micro-volume and high-value samples, including LC‑MS workflows and method development.
Not recommended for use with strong acids or bases.
The brown housing allows quick identification, and each pack includes a Certificate of Analysis.
