PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc - 0.1µm & 0.01µm

The PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc is expertly crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, designed for optimal performance in blood assays and general filtration applications. Although polycarbonate is naturally hydrophobic, our membrane undergoes a special treatment with a wetting agent to enhance its hydrophilic properties, ensuring superior filtration efficiency.

Manufactured using a precise two-stage production process, this disc boasts stringent quality standards. This unique technique allows for exceptional control over pore size and density, establishing the membrane's physical properties to align perfectly with your specific requirements. The outcome is a translucent, microporous film featuring a smooth, glass-like surface that effectively captures all particles larger than the specified pore size. This membrane is your ideal partner for collecting samples in blood testing or executing high-purity filtration tasks.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Facilitates controlled flow of liquids, ensuring complete capture of cells exceeding the pore size.
• Smooth, Thin Surface: The planar surface is optimized for particle identification via microscopy.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), the membrane retains its pore specifications without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Enhances test integrity by promoting consistent, clean results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes recovery of critical solutions.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents in assays
• General filtration needs
• Precise filtration and prefiltration
• Efficient removal of red blood cells from plasma
