PCTE Membrane Disc, 0.08µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, with an absolute pore size of 0.08 µm, is engineered from a high-quality, thin, microporous polycarbonate film. This innovative membrane is specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of blood assays, as well as high-purity and general filtration processes. Its hydrophilic treatment allows this inherently hydrophobic material to interact efficiently with aqueous solutions.

Manufactured through a meticulous two-stage production process, the PCTE membrane ensures precise control over pore size and density while maintaining rigorous quality standards. The final product showcases a translucent, smooth, and flat surface that captures all particles larger than the pore size, making it ideal for sampling in critical applications such as blood testing and filtration.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Provides excellent flow control for liquids moving through the membrane, capturing 100% of cells larger than the specified pore size.
• Smooth, Thin Surface: The glass-like texture facilitates particle identification through microscopy, enhancing analytical capabilities.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), the membrane maintains its pore size and density without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Ensures cleaner tests, promoting consistent and reliable results across applications.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes critical solution recovery to meet rigorous testing standards.
• Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Options: Versatility for a wide range of product applications, accommodating various experimental needs.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents in assays
• General filtration processes
• Precise filtration and prefiltration tasks
• Removal of red blood cells from plasma samples
