PCTE Membrane Disc, 0.4 µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc is expertly crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, designed to meet the rigorous demands of blood assays and high-purity filtration applications. Although polycarbonate exhibits hydrophobic characteristics, this membrane has been treated with a wetting agent, rendering it hydrophilic for enhanced performance.

Manufactured through a precision two-stage production process, this membrane adheres to the highest quality standards, allowing for meticulous control over pore size and density. Each membrane is a thin, translucent film boasting a smooth, flat surface, effectively capturing all particles larger than its specified pore size. This functionality makes it an exceptional choice for precise sample collection in blood tests and general filtration processes.

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Guarantees optimal flow control for liquids, effectively capturing 100% of cells larger than the pore size.
• Smooth, Glass-like Surface: The planar surface is perfectly suited for particle identification via microscopy.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (>3000 psi), the membrane maintains its pore size and density without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Ensures contamination-free tests and promotes consistent results across applications.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Optimizes critical solution recovery, enhancing the efficiency of filtration processes.
• Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic Options: Versatile for a wide range of product applications depending on the specific needs.

• Flow control of reagents in assays
• General filtration needs
• Precise filtration and prefiltration tasks
• Efficient removal of red blood cells from plasma
