- 0.1 and 0.2 µm pore sizes provide sterilization of small volumes of buffers, culture media, and additives.
- Acrodisc PF and Serum Acrodisc syringe filters are ideal for clarification/sterilization of viscous or particulate-laden solutions.
- Use larger pore size filters for prefiltration and particulate removal.
