Regenerated Cellulose (RC) Membrane Filters - 10410014
Designed to deliver reproducibility and confidence across critical sample types, the Whatman 10410014 provides the filtration consistency that method validation demands. Central to its design, reproducible separation characteristics define the membrane structure, protecting downstream instruments and preserving sample integrity throughout the filtration process. Accordingly, consistent surface properties across the full membrane area support uniform particle capture and reliable results in gravimetric, microscopic, and culture-based analytical workflows.
Material Specifications
- Symmetric pore geometry provides predictable retention behavior across varying flow rates and pressure conditions.
- A premium choice for broad chemical compatibility without requiring pre-wetting.
- Resistant to a wide range of organic solvents including alcohols, ethers, and hydrocarbons that degrade cellulose-based alternatives.
- Regenerated Cellulose offers excellent chemical resistance to both aqueous and organic solvents.
- Supplied in bulk non-sterile packaging, offering an economical option for routine clarification and general laboratory filtration tasks.
Multi-site studies where different laboratories must produce comparable data benefit from membranes manufactured to tight specifications, giving you confidence that site-to-site variability is not introduced by the filtration step. The consistent flow characteristics of RC membranes across different lots mean your validated filtration step remains within specification without the lot-qualification testing that more variable membrane types require. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

- Particle Sizing - Used in automated particle counters to provide a clean, non-shedding background for accurate contaminant sizing data.
- Multiplex Bead Assays - Retains microspheres in flow-through assays while allowing the sample matrix to wash away without trapping the beads.
- Dialysis Membrane Sheet - Used in custom dialyzers to facilitate buffer exchange and desalting of protein solutions via passive diffusion.
- Refractive Index Prep - Ensures absolute optical clarity in filtrates, which is critical for accurate measurements in refractive index detectors.
- Organic Solvent Cleaning - Compatible with DMSO and other harsh organics, making it perfect for combinational chemistry sample clarification.
- Tissue Extract Clarification - Handles lipid-rich tissue extracts well, preventing the premature fouling often seen with hydrophobic membrane types.
