PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Sheet, 203x254mm

The PCTE Hydrophobic Membrane Sheet is expertly crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, providing exceptional durability and flexibility for a variety of applications in healthcare and laboratory settings. Specifically designed for blood assays and high-purity filtration, this sheet combines innovative technology with usability to meet your precise needs.

Key Features

• Microporous Structure: The membrane’s two-stage production process grants superior control over pore size and density, ensuring that all particles larger than the specified pore size are effectively captured on its surface.
• Hydrophilic Treatment: Although polycarbonate is inherently hydrophobic, this membrane is treated with a specialized wetting agent, allowing it to exhibit hydrophilic properties suitable for various liquid assays.
• Smooth Surface: The thin, glass-like surface of the membrane is ideal for optical applications, such as particle identification under microscopy, enhancing visibility and analysis accuracy.
• High Tensile Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), the membrane maintains its pore integrity and density without stretching, making it a reliable choice for rigorous applications.
• Minimal Extractables: The low extractable nature of the membrane promotes cleaner testing conditions, thereby supporting consistent and reliable results across various assays.
• Negligible Absorption: Designed for efficient sample recovery, the membrane maximizes critical solution retention, preventing loss of sensitive reagents.

Applications

• Optimal flow control of reagents through assays.
• General filtration tasks where purity is paramount.
• Precise filtration and prefiltration for sample preparation.
• Effective removal of red blood cells from plasma during analysis.
