PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc, 5.0µm

The PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Disc, boasting a precise pore size of 5.0 µm, is crafted from a high-quality, microporous polycarbonate material. This advanced membrane is specifically designed for optimal performance in blood assays and both high-purity and general filtration applications. Although inherently hydrophobic, this membrane undergoes a specialized treatment with a wetting agent, rendering it hydrophilic for improved fluid handling.

Manufactured with a meticulous two-stage process, the PCTE membrane ensures unparalleled quality, allowing precise control over pore size and density. Each membrane is a translucent, microporous film characterized by its smooth, flat surface, which is essential for accurate sample analysis. Its advanced design guarantees that particles exceeding the specified pore size are effectively retained on the membrane’s surface, making it an ideal choice for sample collection for blood testing and other critical filtration tasks.

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Ensures precise flow control, capturing 100% of cells larger than the specified pore size.
• Smooth, Thin Surface: The glass-like planar surface is perfect for particle identification under microscopic examination.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (>3000 psi), it maintains its pore structure, ensuring reliable performance without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Promotes clean testing environments, ensuring reproducible and consistent results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Enhances critical solution recovery rates, making it suitable for sensitive applications.

• Flow control of reagents in various assays.
• General filtration tasks across diverse laboratory settings.
• Precise filtration and prefiltration processes.
• Effective removal of red blood cells from plasma samples.
