Sterile filtration is a way to remove microbes and particles from a peptide solution by passing it through a very fine filter. It’s a common step in careful lab work. Here’s a simple overview — for laboratory use.
- What it is: passing a solution through a 0.22 µm filter to remove microbes and debris.
- Why: reduces contamination and clarifies the solution.
- Note: filtration removes microbes but not dissolved contaminants.
How it works
A reconstituted solution is drawn through a membrane filter with pores around 0.22 micrometers — small enough to trap bacteria and particulates while letting the dissolved peptide pass through. The result is a cleaner, clearer solution for research.
What it does — and doesn’t — do
- Does: remove bacteria, fungi and particles.
- Doesn’t: remove dissolved impurities or molecular contaminants.
- Pairs with: good storage and a clean diluent.
