Regenerated Cellulose (RC) Membrane Filters - 10410312
Engineered for high retention efficiency and superior chemical stability, the Whatman 10410312 achieves reliable separation results across a broad range of analytical and preparative applications. At its core, reproducible separation characteristics define the membrane structure, protecting downstream instruments and preserving sample integrity throughout the filtration process. Controlled production conditions produce membranes with documented pore size distribution and thickness tolerances, supporting method reproducibility across multiple filter lots.
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.
- Minimal extractable levels make Regenerated Cellulose a reliable choice for analytical applications where background interference must be minimized.
- Regenerated Cellulose offers excellent chemical resistance to both aqueous and organic solvents.
- Mechanically stable and hydrophilic, often used for HPLC mobile phase degassing.
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. To address this, regenerated cellulose offers the lowest non-specific protein binding of any cellulose-based membrane, ensuring that your biological filtrates retain analyte concentrations close to the original sample without significant adsorptive loss. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
