PCTE Membrane Disc, 1.0µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, with an absolute pore size of 1.0µm, is expertly crafted from a high-quality, thin, and microporous polycarbonate film. This membrane is an ideal solution for blood assays as well as high-purity and general filtration applications. Although polycarbonate is naturally hydrophobic, each membrane is treated with a specialized wetting agent to enhance its hydrophilic properties, ensuring optimal performance in aqueous environments.

Manufactured using a precise two-stage production process, this membrane assures stringent quality control, allowing for exceptional regulation of pore size and density. This meticulous approach ensures that every membrane meets your specific requirements, delivering a thin, translucent, and microporous film characterized by its smooth, flat surface. Its advanced construction guarantees that any particles exceeding the pore size are retained on the membrane’s surface, making it particularly effective for collecting blood test samples and performing high-purity filtration tasks.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Provides precise flow control for liquids, effortlessly capturing 100% of cells larger than the specified pore size.
• Smooth, Glass-like Surface: Enables excellent particle identification via microscopy, enhancing analytical capabilities.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (>3000 psi), the membrane maintains its pore characteristics without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Guarantees clean testing environments, promoting reliable and consistent experimental results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes solution recovery, ensuring critical materials are not lost.
• Available as Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic: This versatility expands the membrane's application potential across various fields.

Applications:

• Flow control for reagents during assay procedures
• General filtration tasks across various laboratory settings
• Precise filtration and prefiltration processes to refine sample quality
• Effective removal of red blood cells from plasma for enhanced assay accuracy
