PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc, 10.0µm

The PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc, featuring an optimal pore size of 10.0µm, is expertly crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film material. This innovative membrane is specifically engineered for blood assays and high-purity filtration applications, ensuring peak performance in various laboratory settings.

Despite its inherently hydrophobic properties, this membrane is uniquely treated with a wetting agent to enhance its hydrophilicity, allowing for versatile applications across numerous filtration processes. The meticulous two-stage production process guarantees strict adherence to high-quality standards, providing complete control over pore size and density to meet precise requirements.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Effectively captures 100% of cells larger than the pore size, providing reliable flow control for liquids.
• Smooth, Thin, Glass-like Surface: The planar surface facilitates particle identification via microscopy, enhancing analytical capabilities.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), the membrane maintains its structure without stretching, ensuring consistent performance.
• Low Extractables: Minimizes contamination risk, promoting cleaner tests for consistent and accurate results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes recovery of critical solutions, making it ideal for sensitive applications.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents through assays
• General filtration for various laboratory processes
• Precise filtration and prefiltration tasks
• Efficient removal of red blood cells from plasma in clinical assays
