PCTE Hydrophilic Membrane Disc (8.0µm and 3.0µm)

The PCTE Hydrophilic Membrane Disc is engineered from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film material that's specifically designed for precision in medical applications. This advanced membrane is ideal for blood assays as well as high-purity and general filtration techniques. Its hydrophilic treatment, which enhances water affinity, allows for improved fluid dynamics even though polycarbonate is typically hydrophobic.

Key Features:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Ensures effective flow control for liquids passing through the membrane, capturing 100% of cells larger than specified pore size.
• Smooth, Thin, Glass-like Surface: The planar surface is perfect for particle identification via microscopy, making it an essential tool for scientists and laboratory technicians.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), this membrane maintains its pore size and density without stretching, ensuring reliability during rigorous testing.
• Low Extractables: The membrane contributes to clean tests, promoting consistent results which are critical for accurate analysis.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: This feature maximizes critical solution recovery, making it suitable for various applications in the lab.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents through assays
• General filtration tasks
• Precise filtration and prefiltration methods
• Efficient removal of red blood cells from plasma for further analysis
