Syringe filter is a small, disposable device used for filtration purposes in laboratories and other scientific settings. It consists of a plastic housing with a membrane filter at one end and a female luer lock or male luer slip connection at the other end, allowing it to be attached to a syringe.
The purpose of a syringe filter is to remove impurities, particulates, or unwanted substances from a liquid sample before it is injected or analyzed. The membrane filter within the syringe filter acts as a barrier, selectively allowing only certain particles or molecules to pass through while retaining larger particles.
