Syringeless Filter, 1 to 5 ml, PVDF, Polypropylene Housing

UniPrep filter vials are preassembled filtration devices for the filtration and storage of laboratory samples. These devices are quick and easy to use and feature a plunger, filter, and vial in one unit. They replace syringe coupled filtration devices with single, disposable units. UniPrep devices consist of two parts: a test tube and a filter-plunger. The design incorporates a prefilter and a membrane into the tip of the plunger. When the filter-plunger is pressed through the liquid placed in the test tube, positive pressure forces the filtrate up into the reservoir of the filter-plunger. UniPrep devices function in a similar way to the Mini-UniPrep. However, UniPrep does not contain a septum in the cap and can be used to filter larger volumes (1 to 5 ml). The UniPrep filter vial is selected based on compatibility with the sample in use. In manual operation, the filter-plunger, after the tip comes in contact with the liquid, is slowly pushed into the test tube until it stops at the bottom. The UniPrep is emptied either by decanting into a sample or autosampler vial or by drawing the filtered sample into a syringe for manual injection into an instrument.
