PCTE Membrane Disc, 14.0µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc is crafted from a high-quality, thin microporous polycarbonate film that excels in both blood assays and high-purity general filtration applications. This specialized membrane undergoes a unique two-stage production process, ensuring superior control over pore size and density, which aligns perfectly with your precise specifications. It features a hydrophilic treatment, counteracting the inherent hydrophobic nature of polycarbonate for enhanced performance in liquid applications.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Designed for effective flow control, the membrane captures 100% of cells larger than its specified pore size.
• Smooth, Glass-like Surface: The planar surface is perfect for particle identification via microscopy, facilitating quick and accurate analyses.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), the membrane maintains its pore size and density under pressure, preventing stretching.
• Low Extractables: Ensures clean testing environments and promotes consistent results across various applications.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Optimizes solution recovery, enhancing the reliability of collected data.
• Available in Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic: This versatility allows the membrane to cater to a wide array of product applications.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents in assays
• General and precise filtration
• Prefiltration processes
• Separation of red blood cells from plasma
