GE 6875-1302 Bio-Sciences Syringe Filter, 0.2µm PTFE, 1500 Pack

The GE Bio-Sciences GD/X 6875-1302 syringe filter addresses a specific sample preparation requirement: clarification and bioburden reduction of chemically aggressive solutions where membrane compatibility is the governing constraint. With a 0.2µm PTFE membrane in a 13mm housing, this filter is rated for bacterial retention and compatible with the full range of organic solvents, strong acids, and oxidizing reagents that would degrade alternative membrane chemistries. The GD/X architecture differentiates this product from standard single-layer designs by incorporating an upstream pre-filter that captures bulk particulates before they reach the rated membrane, directly extending throughput per unit and reducing filter consumption in dirty sample matrices.

These filters are supplied non-sterile and are positioned for non-critical filtration applications — HPLC sample prep, mobile phase clarification, aggressive solvent filtration, and general particulate removal in analytical chemistry workflows. The 1,500-unit bulk pack is optimized for labs running high sample volumes where per-unit cost and restocking frequency are operational concerns. Maintenance requirements are nil for single-use consumables; procurement teams should confirm CoA and lot traceability documentation availability when operating under GLP or GMP frameworks. The hydrophobic nature of PTFE requires a methanol or IPA pre-wet step for aqueous sample matrices — factor this into SOP development.
