PETE Membrane Disc, 8.0µm

Introducing the GVS PETE Membrane Disc, a high-performance filtration solution crafted from a thin, durable polyester film that delivers exceptional solvent resistance. This membrane is specifically designed for critical applications in blood assays and general filtration, especially in environments involving chemically aggressive solvents.

Manufactured through a sophisticated two-step process akin to that of the PCTE membrane, our PETE Membrane is created by exposing a polyester film to ion particles. These ions penetrate the film, establishing tracks that inflict precise damage on the polymer. Subsequently, this beamed film undergoes treatment with a specialized chemical solution, effectively etching out these tracks and forming cylindrical pores of controlled size and density.

This innovative process affords enhanced control over pore specifications, ensuring that each membrane's physical properties align meticulously with your unique requirements. The resulting product features a translucent polyester film characterized by a smooth, flat surface with well-defined pores. This superior construction offers significantly better solvent resistance compared to polycarbonate membranes and effectively traps all particles larger than the specified pore diameter.

Characteristics:

• Broad Range of Chemical Compatibility: Suitable for diverse applications across various industries.
• Direct Thickness and Pore Size Measurement: Guarantees accurate characterization of the membrane.
• Naturally Hydrophilic: Eliminates the need for pre-treatments or wetting agents.
• Smooth, Thin, Glass-like Surface: Ideal for microscopic visualization and analysis.
• Low Protein Binding: Supports uncontaminated and reliable results.
• Pore Size Range: 0.2µm to 10.0µm.

Applications:

• General Filtration.
• Precise Filtration and Prefiltration.
• Effective Removal of Red Blood Cells from Plasma.
