Whatman Autovial 12 Syringeless Filter
The Whatman™ Autovial™ 12 Syringeless Filter AV525UAQU is a preassembled, disposable filtration device designed to simplify sample preparation and reduce the number of components required for filtration. Combining a graduated filter barrel, plunger, prefilter, and membrane into one convenient unit, Autovial filters provide a streamlined alternative to conventional syringe-coupled filtration.
Featuring a hydrophilic PVDF membrane with a 0.45 µm pore size and an integrated glass prefilter, AV525UAQU is well suited for clarification of aqueous samples and applications where efficient particulate removal and low nonspecific protein binding are important. With a 12mL capacity, built-in air purge, and direct filtration into an autosampler vial, Autovial helps make routine sample preparation faster and easier while minimizing handling steps.
Key Features
- All-in-one filtration replaces multiple syringe-coupled filtration components with a single disposable unit
- 12mL capacity accommodates larger sample volume than the 5mL Autovial format
- 45µm hydrophilic PVDF membrane is well suited to aqueous sample filtration and offers low protein binding
- Integrated glass prefilter helps handle samples containing higher particulate loads and can improve flow while reducing membrane clogging
- Built-in air purge helps maximize sample recovery by reducing residual hold-up volume
- Filter directly into an autosampler vial without requiring a separate syringe filter assembly
- Preassembled design simplifies workflow and reduces the number of consumables that need to be handled
- Graduated filter barrel provides convenient volume reference during sample loading
- Self-contained construction helps prevent filter pop-off during filtration, including when working with potentially hazardous samples
- The integrated support stand helps protect the outlet and reduce the potential for contamination
- Supplied in 1000-piece pack for laboratories processing large numbers of samples
