RC Membrane (RC55), 0.45um Pore Size, 142mm Circle (25 pcs) SKU: 10410229

Regenerated Cellulose (RC) Membrane Filters - 10410229

Engineered for high retention efficiency and superior chemical stability, the Whatman 10410229 achieves reliable separation results across a broad range of analytical and preparative applications. Quality-controlled manufacturing ensures the filtration medium delivers the retention efficiency and throughput that demanding laboratory protocols require. Lot-level verification of pore size, flow rate, and physical dimensions ensures that membrane performance remains predictable when scaling from method development to routine analysis.

Material Specifications

• Regenerated Cellulose offers excellent chemical resistance to both aqueous and organic solvents.
• Symmetric pore geometry provides predictable retention behavior across varying flow rates and pressure conditions.
• Mechanically stable and hydrophilic, often used for HPLC mobile phase degassing.
• Minimal extractable levels make Regenerated Cellulose a reliable choice for analytical applications where background interference must be minimized.
• Bulk packaging format provides cost-effective access for high-volume laboratories performing non-critical filtration and sample preparation.

Whether your method calls for gravimetric analysis, particle visualization, or microbial enumeration, the pore consistency and surface uniformity documented above ensure that your results reflect the sample — not the filter. RC's broad chemical compatibility with aqueous solutions, dilute acids, and many organic solvents gives you a versatile membrane that handles a range of sample matrices without requiring you to switch filter types mid-workflow. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.

Hydrophilic

• Microplastic Collection - Filters water samples to capture microplastic fibers, providing a smooth background for microscopic categorization.
• 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.
• 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.
• Refractive Index Prep - Ensures absolute optical clarity in filtrates, which is critical for accurate measurements in refractive index detectors.
