NUC PC 13mM 8.0uM 100/Pk SKU: 10417501

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10417501

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 8.0 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Developed with critical workflows in mind, quality-controlled manufacturing ensures the filtration medium delivers the retention efficiency and throughput that demanding laboratory protocols require. Consequently, 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

• 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.
• Packaged without sterilization for applications where downstream sterility is achieved by other means or is not a process requirement.
• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.
• Uniform pore density across the membrane surface ensures representative sampling for environmental and biological particulate analysis.

Air monitoring and stack emissions sampling demand a filter medium that withstands the thermal and chemical conditions at your collection point — the material properties described above define the operating envelope for your application. To meet this need, 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. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

Hydrophilic

• Exosome Isolation - Separates extracellular vesicles from larger cell debris using defined pore sizes, preventing contamination in RNA analysis.
• Chemotaxis Migration - Acts as a precise barrier in Boyden chambers to measure cell migration towards chemoattractants without passive diffusion.
• Oceanographic Sampling - Fractionates plankton populations by size in seawater, ensuring precise separation for biomass and diversity studies.
• Legionella Recovery - Captures bacteria from hot water samples on a flat plane for direct fluorescent antibody staining and microscope counting.
• Parasite Detection - Concentrates blood samples to detect microfilariae on a transparent surface, simplifying identification without staining.
• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
