A syringe tip filter extractable is an undesired artifact contributed to the sample fluid from the filter device. This material may be a membrane or housing formulation component, or a component introduced during the manufacturing or packaging process. Of these mechanisms, solubility and particle displacement are more prevalent. The appearance of extractable materials from a syringe tip device depends on the solubility of device components in the sample fluid. The polymeric resins, solvent, pore formers and other chemical components such as housing materials utilized during device manufacturing may potentially extract.
Solubility relates to chemical compatibility.
Because solubility is dependent on temperature, concentration, and exposure time, all of these parameters are significant in determining chemical compatibility. Displacement can occur when residual manufacturing materials, once caught in the pore structure of the membrane, are dislodged. PLS performs rigorous extracting methods on their membrane products to hinder this occurrence. Different polymeric membranes have different chemical compatibilities. Based on the application and chemical compatibility, there may be one or several Acrodisc syringe filter possibilities.
