00:00If you've ever ruined a sample or worse, clogged an HPLC column because you skipped a filtration step, this one's
00:06for you.
00:07I've spent the last couple of weeks digging through lab supply listings, comparing membranes, pore sizes, and honestly way too
00:13many customer reviews, to put together the top 5 syringe filters for clean sample filtration.
00:19And yes, I found some genuinely great deals, so stick around.
00:23Starting off with the big box option, this one gives you 50 sterile millipore-style syringe filters in a single
00:29box, and you get to pick your membrane nylon, PIS, or PTFE in either 0.22 or 0.45 micron.
00:36What I like here is that these are individually sterile packaged, so if you're doing cell culture work or filtering
00:42media, you're covered.
00:44It's $26.27 for the box, which works out to around $0.50 a filter.
00:50With nearly 5,000 sold and a solid 4.5 rating, this is the safe, do-everything choice if you
00:56want one box that handles most of what your lab throws at it.
00:59Now if you're on a tighter budget or you just don't burn through filters that fast, check this one out.
01:0525 filters per lot, and the options are ridiculous nylon, PTFE, BT, or PS membrane, 13 or 25mm housing, and
01:13pore sizes from 0.22 all the way up to 0.8 micron.
01:17That 0.8 option is actually really handy for pre-filtering nasty, particle-heavy samples before you hit them with
01:24a finer filter.
01:25And it's only $10.37.
01:29Perfect 5-star rating, almost $4,800 sold.
01:33Honestly, for a small lab or a grad student paying out of pocket, this is the sweet spot.
01:39But if you're the person who's always running out of filters right when you need them, here's your answer, 100
01:44filters in a box for $15.14.
01:47Do the math on that, you're looking at about $0.15 per filter.
01:52These are disposable nylon and PTFE options in 13 or 25mm, 0.22 or 0.45 micron, and they're set
02:00up for both organic solvents and aqueous systems.
02:03Perfect 5-star rating.
02:05If you're doing routine sample prep day in and day out, this is the one that stops you from rationing
02:10filters like they're gold.
02:12Next up, something a little more specialized.
02:15This is a 10-pack of sterile PS filters with a 33mm membrane diameter and a 0.22 micron pore
02:22size.
02:23That bigger diameter is the whole point more surface area means higher throughput and way less back pressure,
02:28so you can push larger volumes without your thumb giving out or the filter blowing off the syringe.
02:34PS is also super low protein binding, so if you're filtering buffers, media, or protein solutions, you lose less of
02:40what you actually care about.
02:42It's $9.89 for the 10-pack.
02:465-stars.
02:48Great specialty filter to keep on the shelf.
02:51And rounding out the list, the most versatile option of the bunch.
02:5550 sterile membrane syringe filters per box, and the selection here is the widest I found,
03:0013, 25, or 33mm, 0.22 or 0.45 micron, and 5 different membrane types,
03:07nylon, PIS, PTFE, PVDF, and MC.
03:11That PVDF and MCE availability is what sets it apart,
03:15because those are exactly what you need for certain analytical and microbiology workflows.
03:20It's $25.06 for the box with a perfect 5-star rating.
03:25If your lab runs a bunch of different protocols, this is the one that lets you standardize on a single
03:30supplier.
03:32All the links are down in the description, so go grab whichever one fits your workflow.
