PCTE Membrane Disc, 20.0μm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, is engineered for precision and reliability in blood assays and various high-purity filtration applications. Despite polycarbonate's inherent hydrophobic characteristics, each membrane is expertly treated with a wetting agent, transforming it into a hydrophilic medium, enhancing its versatility across different procedures.

Manufactured through an advanced two-stage production process, this membrane adheres to stringent quality standards, allowing for meticulous control over pore size and density. As a result, the final product is a thin, translucent film boasting a smooth, flat surface. This unique feature ensures optimal trapping of particles larger than the pore size, making it essential for any laboratory focusing on accurate sample collection and filtration.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Guarantees precise flow control, capturing 100% of cells exceeding pore size.
• Smooth, Thin Surface: Its glass-like planar surface is ideal for enabling particle identification via microscopy.
• Superior Tensile Strength: Exhibits a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), ensuring stability in pore size and density without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Minimizes contaminants for clean testing, promoting consistent results.
• Negligible Absorption/A dsorption: Enhances critical solution recovery, ensuring maximum yield.
• Hydrophilic or Hydrophobic Options: Allows for a broad array of applications catering to various laboratory needs.

Applications:

• Flow control of reagents within assays
• General and precise filtration tasks
• Prefiltration processes
• Extraction of red blood cells from plasma
