Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 0.2um Pore Size, 47mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10417012

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10417012

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.2 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. From a technical standpoint, reproducible separation characteristics define the membrane structure, protecting downstream instruments and preserving sample integrity throughout the filtration process. Because of this, precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.

Material Specifications

• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.
• Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.
• Track-etched Polycarbonate membranes feature perfectly cylindrical pores for absolute fractionation.
• Uniform pore density across the membrane surface ensures representative sampling for environmental and biological particulate analysis.
• Optically clear construction enables direct on-membrane visualization of captured particles without transfer or additional preparation.

Environmental monitoring programs where sample-to-sample comparability determines trend validity benefit directly from the lot-level consistency of these membranes, removing the filter as a variable in your long-term data sets. Low background autofluorescence from polycarbonate membranes keeps your fluorescence microscopy signal-to-noise ratio high, ensuring that the fluorescent labels on your captured particles are what you see — not membrane interference. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.

Hydrophilic

• Chemotaxis Migration - Acts as a precise barrier in Boyden chambers to measure cell migration towards chemoattractants without passive diffusion.
• Exosome Isolation - Separates extracellular vesicles from larger cell debris using defined pore sizes, preventing contamination in RNA analysis.
• Asbestos Analysis - Provides a smooth, flat surface for collecting airborne fibers, allowing for direct counting via phase-contrast light microscopy.
• Liposome Sizing - Used in extrusion devices to force lipid suspensions through exact pores, creating uniform unilamellar vesicles for drug delivery.
• Legionella Recovery - Captures bacteria from hot water samples on a flat plane for direct fluorescent antibody staining and microscope counting.
• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
