Request Information |
Because our Millex® syringe filters provide unsurpassed quality and consistency, numerous customers have specified the Millex® brand in developing sample preparation methods. With over 50 years of filtration expertise, we continue to set the industry standard for high performance membrane technology and its application in sample preparation.
The quality of Millex® filters results from four fundamental principles:
- Quality Design and Engineering
- Quality Manufacturing and QC; Quality Materials
- Ongoing Research, Development and Innovation
Quality Design and Engineering
The original Millex® filter: protecting your data since 1971.
We’ve learned a lot since our first patent on a disposable syringe filter, filed in 1968 (above, left). Today’s Millex® filters (above, right) feature:
Over-molded design
- Excellent seal integrity and burst strength
Designed to minimize hold up volume
- Optimized housing design maintains 50% less hold volume than traditional 13 mm filters to ensure maximum sample recovery.
- Engineered flow paths into and out of device
Filter and seal integrity
- Premium membrane
- High particle retention
- Excellent seal between device and membrane
High operating pressure
- With a maximum housing pressure of 150 psig (10 bar) solutions can be filtered faster.
Low extractables, low binding
- A variety of membranes and polypropylene housings ensure chemical compatibility with a range of samples and solvents.
