PCTE Membrane Disc, 2.0µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, with an absolute pore size of 2.0µm, is engineered from a high-quality, thin, microporous polycarbonate film. Designed for critical applications, this membrane excels in blood assays and offers both high-purity and general filtration capabilities. Despite polycarbonate's natural hydrophobic properties, our membranes undergo a special treatment with a wetting agent, rendering them hydrophilic and suitable for various liquid handling tasks.

Manufactured using a meticulous two-stage production process, this membrane guarantees superior control over pore size and density. Each disc features a smooth, flat surface with exceptional physical properties tailored to meet your specific requirements. The membrane's design captures all particles larger than the pore size on its surface, making it an ideal choice for sample collection in blood testing, as well as for high-precision filtration needs.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Ensures optimal flow control for liquids, effectively trapping 100% of cells larger than the specified pore size.
• Smooth, Thin Surface: The planar design allows for accurate particle identification via microscopy.
• Superior Strength: Maintains its pore size and density with a tensile strength rating of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), preventing stretching during use.
• Low Extractables: Promotes clean test conditions leading to consistent and reliable results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes recovery of solutions critical to your processes.
• Versatile Options: Available in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic variants, catering to a broad spectrum of applications.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents in assay processes.
• General filtration tasks.
• High-precision filtration and prefiltration.
• Efficient removal of red blood cells from plasma samples.
