PCTE Membrane Sheet 1.0μm - 20.0μm

The PCTE Membrane Sheet is crafted from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film, designed specifically for high-precision applications such as blood assays and both high-purity and general filtration processes. While polycarbonate inherently possesses hydrophobic properties, this membrane is treated with a specialized wetting agent to enhance its hydrophilic characteristics.

Manufactured using a meticulous two-stage production process, this membrane exemplifies superior quality control, permitting precise adjustments to pore size and density. The result is a translucent, microporous polycarbonate film with an exceptionally smooth and flat surface, effectively capturing all particles larger than its specified pore size. This makes it an ideal choice for collecting blood test samples and executing high-purity general filtration tasks.

Key Characteristics:

• Absolute Pore Size and Density: Ensures effective flow control of liquids while capturing 100% of cells larger than the specified pore size.
• Smooth, Thin, Glass-like Surface: The planar surface facilitates easy particle identification through microscopy.
• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 207 bar (>3000 psi), it maintains consistent pore size and density without stretching.
• Low Extractables: Promotes clean testing processes, ensuring reliable and consistent results.
• Negligible Absorption/Adsorption: Maximizes recovery rates of critical solutions.

Applications:

• Flow control for various reagents in assays
• General filtration tasks
• Precise filtration and prefiltration processes
• Effective removal of red blood cells from plasma
