Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 0.6um Pore Size, 47mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10417212

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10417212

The Whatman 10417212 protects sensitive instrumentation and sample integrity by providing reliable particulate removal with minimal analyte adsorption or background interference. Underpinning this performance, verified 0.6 pore distribution across the Hydrophilic membrane surface guarantees batch-to-batch consistency in particle capture and analyte passage. Together, each membrane disc reflects a manufacturing standard where retention characteristics, physical integrity, and dimensional accuracy are verified before release.

Material Specifications

• Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.
• Economical bulk packaging supports laboratories with high consumable throughput where individual sterile wrapping is unnecessary.
• Optically clear construction enables direct on-membrane visualization of captured particles without transfer or additional preparation.
• Manufactured with tight pore size control for precise separation of cells and particulates.
• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.

Reporting filtration parameters alongside your analytical results demands documented pore size, material chemistry, and lot traceability — the membrane specifications above provide the specificity that reviewers and auditors expect. In these cases, 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.
• Legionella Recovery - Captures bacteria from hot water samples on a flat plane for direct fluorescent antibody staining and microscope counting.
• Oceanographic Sampling - Fractionates plankton populations by size in seawater, ensuring precise separation for biomass and diversity studies.
• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
• Exosome Isolation - Separates extracellular vesicles from larger cell debris using defined pore sizes, preventing contamination in RNA analysis.
• Liposome Sizing - Used in extrusion devices to force lipid suspensions through exact pores, creating uniform unilamellar vesicles for drug delivery.
