GVS PETE Membrane Disc, 0.22 µm

The GVS PETE Membrane Disc offers a cutting-edge solution for various filtration needs, crafted from a high-density polyester film designed for superior solvent resistance. This membrane is particularly invaluable in applications involving blood assays or general filtration where chemically aggressive solvents are present.

Manufactured using a proprietary two-step process akin to that of PCTE membranes, this disc begins its journey as a polyester film subjected to a unique ion particle exposure. During this stage, ions penetrate the film, creating 'tracks' that indicate polymer damage. Following this, the film undergoes a chemical etching process, which effectively carves out the tracks, producing precise cylindrical pores crucial for accurate filtration.

This exceptional manufacturing technique allows for meticulous control over both pore size and density, ensuring each membrane perfectly aligns with your specific requirements. The result is a translucent polyester film featuring a smooth, flat surface with precisely controlled pore diameters and numbers. With enhanced solvent resistance compared to polycarbonate membranes, this product effectively captures all particles exceeding the designated pore size on its surface.

Characteristics:

• Broad range of chemical compatibility for versatile applications.
• Direct measurement features for thickness and pore size ensure reliable performance.
• Naturally hydrophilic, eliminating the need for pre-treatments or wetting agents.
• Smooth, thin, glass-like surface ideal for microscopic visualization.
• Low protein binding characteristics guarantee clean and uncontaminated results.
• Pore Size Range: 0.2 µm to 10.0 µm for precise filtration processes.

Applications:

• General Filtration
• Precise filtration and prefiltration tasks
• Effective removal of red blood cells from plasma
