Inline filter protects instruments
100% PTFE filter provides a highly inert flow path that protects laboratory instrumentation equipment by trapping particulate matter
An innovative all-PTFE in-line filter developed by Omnifit provides a highly inert flow path that protects laboratory instrumentation equipment by trapping particulate matter The filter has a replaceable element and is designed to remove particulates from fluids that could otherwise cause damage to pumps, valves and other liquid handling components of laboratory instrumentation
Unfiltered particulate matter can grind against components, causing premature wear, misalignment, deformation, fluid leakage and subsequent equipment failure.
Several connection options provide flexibility to instrument designers, including quarter-inch- 28 UNF thread or a 1/16" (1.6mm) barbed version for softwall tubing.
Replacing the filter is easy, with PTFE elements available in a choice of 25, 40 and 100 micron porosities.
