Nylon Membrane Filter, 3.0um, 150mm, Nonsterile, 50 Pk SKU: SF17989

Nylon Membrane Filters - SF17989

The Tisch SF17989 combines a controlled pore size distribution with low extractable levels, ensuring the data accuracy that sensitive analytical methods require. At its core, precision membrane geometry balances retention sharpness with sustainable flow rates, minimizing the pressure buildup that leads to premature filter replacement. Precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.

Material Specifications

• Broad compatibility with alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and aromatic solvents extends Nylon filtration into mixed-solvent sample preparation.
• Naturally hydrophilic and constructed with high tensile strength, Nylon provides reliable performance without pre-wetting in aqueous applications.
• Flexible and durable, eliminating the need for wetting agents that could contaminate samples.
• Temperature rating of 60°C provides the thermal headroom required for warm sample processing, heated media preparation, and elevated-temperature analytical methods.
• Packaged without sterilization for applications where downstream sterility is achieved by other means or is not a process requirement.

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 response, dual compatibility with aqueous and organic solvent systems reduces your consumable inventory. A single membrane chemistry handles buffer filtration, mobile phase preparation, and sample clarification without switching between filter types. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.

• Atmospheric Testing - Used in dry deposition sampling to capture specific atmospheric nitrates and sulfates for environmental quality studies.
• Solid Phase Extraction - Acts as a frit or barrier in custom extraction columns, retaining sorbent beds while allowing solvent to pass through.
• Southern Blot Transfer - Binds nucleic acids strongly during capillary transfer, providing a durable matrix for repeated hybridization cycles.
• Radiolabeled Assays - Retains radiolabeled DNA/RNA fragments efficiently, ensuring accurate quantification in molecular biology experiments.
• Solvent Mobilization - Clarifies organic mobile phases in glass vacuum holders, preventing particulate damage to sensitive HPLC pump seals.
• Northern Blotting - Excellent for RNA transfer applications where high tensile strength is required for multiple rounds of probe stripping.
