PCTE Membrane Disc, 8.0µm

The PCTE Membrane Disc, with an absolute pore size of 8.0 µm, is crafted from a highly specialized microporous polycarbonate film. Engineered for precision, this membrane is essential for applications such as blood assays, high-purity filtration, and general-purpose filtration. While polycarbonate's natural state is hydrophobic, this membrane undergoes a unique treatment that renders it hydrophilic, making it versatile for a variety of uses.

Manufactured through a meticulous two-stage production process, this membrane adheres to stringent quality standards. This ensures consistent control over pore size and density, allowing the final product to meet specific requirements with exceptional accuracy. Featuring a smooth and translucent surface, the PCTE membrane effectively captures particles larger than the specified pore size.

Key Characteristics:

• Controlled Pore Size and Density: Allows for reliable flow control, ensuring 100% capture of cells larger than the pore size.
• Glass-Like Surface: The planar surface facilitates easy identification and analysis of particles using microscopy techniques.
• Superior Tensile Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi), it maintains structural integrity without stretching.
• Minimal Extractables: Guarantees clean tests, leading to consistent and reliable results in various applications.
• Negligible Absorption: Promotes critical solution recovery, maximizing the efficiency of processes.
• Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Options: Available in both forms to cater to a wide range of filtration needs.

Applications:

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