Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 0.1um Pore Size, 293mm Circle, 25/Pk SKU: 10419539

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10419539

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.1 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Underpinning this performance, precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.1 pore structure delivers consistent retention across the full operating range. Precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.

Material Specifications

• Manufactured with tight pore size control for precise separation of cells and particulates.
• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.
• Track-etched Polycarbonate membranes feature perfectly cylindrical pores for absolute fractionation.
• Optically clear construction enables direct on-membrane visualization of captured particles without transfer or additional preparation.
• Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.

If your protocol requires direct on-membrane analysis by microscopy or culture, the surface characteristics and dimensional tolerances described above give you a substrate that performs consistently from disc to disc. With this in mind, polycarbonate's optical clarity when wet allows direct on-membrane visualization without clearing or staining steps, streamlining your microscopy workflow and reducing the sample preparation time between filtration and analysis. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

Wettability

Hydrophilic

• Asbestos Analysis - Provides a smooth, flat surface for collecting airborne fibers, allowing for direct counting via phase-contrast light microscopy.
• Oceanographic Sampling - Fractionates plankton populations by size in seawater, ensuring precise separation for biomass and diversity studies.
• Legionella Recovery - Captures bacteria from hot water samples on a flat plane for direct fluorescent antibody staining and microscope counting.
• Exosome Isolation - Separates extracellular vesicles from larger cell debris using defined pore sizes, preventing contamination in RNA analysis.
• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
• Parasite Detection - Concentrates blood samples to detect microfilariae on a transparent surface, simplifying identification without staining.
