What is a syringe filter?

A syringe filter is a disk-shaped filter attached to the tip of a syringe. Used to remove particulate impurities from liquid samples. When a syringe filter is attached to the tip of the syringe, the solution passes through the filter when extruded, and insoluble matter is removed. The material of the filter part is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), etc. Consider the characteristics of the solvent and the object to be removed. Since there are pores of various sizes, it is necessary to select the optimum filter according to the size of the particles to be removed. Syringe filters are usually disposable.
