Minisart® NY with hydrophilic polyamide (nylon) is optimized for aqueous liquids and solvents with a pH of 3 - 14. Type 17846 with a pore size of 0.45 µm can be used for sample preparation. It has a male luer slip outlet. Version R is a non-sterile bulk pack. Units can be sterilized by autoclaving or EO.

Non-sterile Minisart® NY syringe filters are supplied in bulk packs. This reduces waste and makes the handling easier whenever the application allows clarification under non-sterile conditions, like this is the case for the majority of sample preparation steps prior to HPLC or GC analysis. The polyamide membrane combines fastest flow with low non-specific binding. Sartorius polyamide is exceptionally pure compared with other common hydrophilic nylon filters. Competitor nylon membranes are using raw materials which are especially interfere with LC | MS. The housing of the filter is made of PP (polypropylene) which is compatibility with harsh solvents, acids and bases.
