Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10419306
Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.08 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Built for consistent results, verified 0.08 pore distribution across the Hydrophilic membrane surface guarantees batch-to-batch consistency in particle capture and analyte passage. Together, precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.
Material Specifications
- Uniform pore density across the membrane surface ensures representative sampling for environmental and biological particulate analysis.
- Track-etched Polycarbonate membranes feature perfectly cylindrical pores for absolute fractionation.
- Bulk format reduces per-unit packaging waste and cost, appropriate for routine particulate removal and clarification where aseptic handling is not specified.
- Manufactured with tight pore size control for precise separation of cells and particulates.
- Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.
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. Specifically, captured particles sit in a single focal plane on the flat polycarbonate surface, making your microscopic examination faster and particle counts more accurate than with depth filters that trap particles at multiple levels. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.
