Laboratory filters are used to remove solid particles, microorganisms, or contaminants from liquids or gases in laboratory environments. They are commonly applied for sample preparation, prefiltration, sterile filtration, and quality control in pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, and research settings.

Various types of filters are used in laboratory filtration, including:

  • Membrane filters (membrane discs)

  • Syringe filters

  • Vacuum filters and filter units

  • Prefilters

  • Membrane disc holders and filter holders

The right choice depends on the application, process medium, required filtration grade, and filter material.

The required pore size depends on your application:

  • 0.45 µm is commonly used for general clarification and prefiltration

  • 0.2 µm is used for sterile filtration of liquids

  • Larger micron ratings are typically used as prefilters to protect final filters

Our specialists are happy to assist you in selecting the correct micron rating for your process.

Membrane filters are available in a variety of materials, each with specific properties. Commonly used materials include:

  • PES

  • PTFE

  • PVDF

  • Nylon

  • Cellulose Acetate

Material selection depends on chemical compatibility, hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties, and the specific laboratory application.

A membrane filter (disc) is typically used in combination with a filter holder or vacuum system.
A syringe filter is a ready-to-use filter unit that attaches directly to a syringe and is mainly used for fast filtration of small sample volumes.
