RC Membrane (RC55), 0.45um Pore Size, 50mm Circle (100 pcs) SKU: 10410214

Regenerated Cellulose (RC) Membrane Filters - 10410214

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.45 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. At its core, precision membrane geometry balances retention sharpness with sustainable flow rates, minimizing the pressure buildup that leads to premature filter replacement. For this reason, 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

• A premium choice for broad chemical compatibility without requiring pre-wetting.
• Regenerated Cellulose offers excellent chemical resistance to both aqueous and organic solvents.
• Resistant to a wide range of organic solvents including alcohols, ethers, and hydrocarbons that degrade cellulose-based alternatives.
• Bulk format reduces per-unit packaging waste and cost, appropriate for routine particulate removal and clarification where aseptic handling is not specified.
• Symmetric pore geometry provides predictable retention behavior across varying flow rates and pressure conditions.

Scaling your method from development to routine production requires membrane consistency at every lot — the documented specifications of these membranes provide the reproducibility needed to validate the filtration step once. For this purpose, low binding combined with high flow rate makes RC particularly effective when you need to filter dilute biological samples where both recovery and throughput matter to your results. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.

Hydrophilic

• Multiplex Bead Assays - Retains microspheres in flow-through assays while allowing the sample matrix to wash away without trapping the beads.
• Particle Sizing - Used in automated particle counters to provide a clean, non-shedding background for accurate contaminant sizing data.
• Refractive Index Prep - Ensures absolute optical clarity in filtrates, which is critical for accurate measurements in refractive index detectors.
• Microplastic Collection - Filters water samples to capture microplastic fibers, providing a smooth background for microscopic categorization.
• Tissue Extract Clarification - Handles lipid-rich tissue extracts well, preventing the premature fouling often seen with hydrophobic membrane types.
• Organic Solvent Cleaning - Compatible with DMSO and other harsh organics, making it perfect for combinational chemistry sample clarification.
