PCTE Membrane Disc, 0.8µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, with an absolute pore size of 0.8µm, is engineered from a high-quality, microporous polycarbonate film material. This versatile membrane is specifically designed for advanced applications in blood assays as well as high-purity and general filtration tasks. Although polycarbonate is inherently hydrophobic, each membrane is treated with a wetting agent to enhance its hydrophilic properties, ensuring outstanding performance across a variety of use cases.

Manufactured through a precise two-stage production process, the PCTE Membrane guarantees superior quality standards. This innovative method provides exceptional control over pore size and density, allowing the physical properties to meet your strict specifications. The thin, translucent, and microporous structure features a smooth, flat surface ideal for particle identification via microscopy, making it a key choice for professionals requiring accuracy and reliability in their sampling procedures.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Effectively manages liquid flow while capturing 100% of cells larger than the designated pore size.
• Smooth, Thin Surface: The glass-like characteristics enhance particle identification accuracy during microscopy examinations.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength exceeding 207 bar (> 3000 psi), this membrane maintains its pore size and density without deformation under stress.
• Low Extractables: Minimizes potential contaminations, promoting consistent and clean test results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Ensures maximal recovery of critical solution components.
• Available in Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic Options: This flexibility accommodates a broad spectrum of applications.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents during assays
• General and advanced filtration processes
• Precise filtration and prefiltration tasks
• Efficient extraction of red blood cells from plasma samples
