Versapor Membrane Filters - 60039
Engineered for high retention efficiency and superior chemical stability, the Pall 60039 achieves reliable separation results across a broad range of analytical and preparative applications. Constructed for reliable operation, high tensile strength and tear resistance support automated handling, die-cutting, and roll-to-roll conversion processes used in diagnostic device manufacturing. Consistent surface properties across the full membrane area support uniform particle capture and reliable results in gravimetric, microscopic, and culture-based analytical workflows.
Material Specifications
- Versapor acrylic copolymer membranes provide a unique combination of hydrophilicity and mechanical flexibility not available from standard PES or nylon membranes.
- Materials of construction maintain their mechanical and chemical properties at temperatures up to 88°C, supporting heated filtration protocols.
- Naturally hydrophilic surface wets instantly on contact with aqueous solutions, supporting rapid vacuum filtration without pre-conditioning steps.
- Controlled porosity delivers consistent flow rates and predictable retention characteristics across production lots for device manufacturing reproducibility.
- High tensile strength and flexibility allow Versapor membranes to withstand the mechanical stress of roll-to-roll processing and automated handling systems.
Whether your method calls for gravimetric analysis, particle visualization, or microbial enumeration, the pore consistency documented above ensures your results reflect the sample, not the filter. To support this, low extractable levels from the filter medium protect the analytical cleanliness of your filtrate, reducing the background interference that complicates trace-level analyses and forces unnecessary repeat measurements. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
