How can I be sure I order the correct item?
There are multiple ways to ensure you order the correct item for your application.
First, be sure to understand the requirements of your application.
- What chemicals will be used? Are they compatible with the filter media? Start with our Material Compatibility Chart!
- What type of filtration do you need? Exclusion? Centrifugal? Pre-filtration? Gravity Filtration? Vacuum Filtration?
- What pore size is required for your application? Our site uses microns (µm) as a standard unit for this measurement.
- Is wettability important to your application (should your membrane be hydrophobic or hydrophilic)?
- What type of connection does your application require? Luer-Lock? Luer-Slip? Hose barb?
- What is the expected length of the project? Filters with smaller pore sizes can become clogged easily. Make sure you have enough for the duration of your project.
- If you are still unsure, speak with our customer support technicians via phone: 877-238-8214 or email: [email protected]

What internal quality standards do you follow?
Tisch Scientific maintains a climate controlled and low particulate environment for product storage. Products are well segregated by category and packages are all individually labeled and stored in clearly marked bins. Cycle counts and inspections are performed at least weekly to assure product conformity.
We inspect 100 % of of our incoming material before it is stocked. Defective material is immediately quarantined while waiting for disposition. Root cause, corrective action and evidence of effectiveness studies are performed on every non-conformance.
