PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc, 0.4µm

Introducing the PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc with a precise pore size of 0.4 µm, designed for advanced applications in blood assays and high-purity filtration processes. This exceptional membrane is crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, expertly treated with a wetting agent to enhance its hydrophilic properties despite the inherent hydrophobic nature of polycarbonate.

Featuring a two-stage production process that adheres to stringent quality standards, this membrane offers unparalleled control over pore size and density. Each disc is a translucent, microporous polycarbonate film characterized by a smooth, flat surface that effectively captures particles larger than its pore size, making it an essential tool for medical testing and filtration needs.

Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Ensures precise flow control for liquids, capturing 100% of cells larger than the pore size.
• Smooth, Thin, Glass-like Surface: The planar structure facilitates accurate particle identification through microscopy, enhancing result reliability.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (>3000 psi), the membrane maintains its pore integrity, preventing any stretching during use.
• Low Extractables: This feature guarantees clean results, promoting accuracy in testing protocols.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Designed to maximize solution recovery, ensuring critical solutions are effectively utilized.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents through assays
• General filtration for laboratory procedures
• Precise filtration and prefiltration of samples
• Efficient removal of red blood cells from plasma
