Filter Diameter & Effective Filtration Area (EFA)
Posted October 23 2026The physical size of the housing dictates how much liquid can be processed efficiently before the membrane saturates.
- 13 mm Diameter: Designed for small sample volumes (<10 mL). It maximizes sample economy by keeping the hold-up volume low.
- 25 mm / 30 mm / 33 mm Diameter: Optimized for larger batches (10 mL to 100+ mL). The larger effective filtration area speeds up processing and resists clogging, though it introduces a higher fluid retention volume.
