Versapor Membrane Filters - 66387
Engineered for high retention efficiency and superior chemical stability, the Pall 66387 achieves reliable separation results across a broad range of analytical and preparative applications. At its core, uniform membrane thickness and dimensional stability maintain consistent device-to-device performance in high-volume manufacturing of membrane-based diagnostic products. Ultimately, from raw polymer through final inspection, the manufacturing process is designed to ensure that every membrane disc meets the performance specifications of its grade designation.
Material Specifications
- Individually packaged and validated by Gamma irradiation to provide documented sterility assurance for aseptic applications.
- Temperature rating of 88°C provides the thermal headroom required for warm sample processing, heated media preparation, and elevated-temperature analytical methods.
- High tensile strength and flexibility allow Versapor membranes to withstand the mechanical stress of roll-to-roll processing and automated handling systems.
- Naturally hydrophilic surface wets instantly on contact with aqueous solutions, supporting rapid vacuum filtration without pre-conditioning steps.
- Versapor acrylic copolymer membranes provide a unique combination of hydrophilicity and mechanical flexibility not available from standard PES or nylon membranes.
Air monitoring and stack emissions sampling demand a filter medium that withstands the conditions at your collection point. The material properties above define that operating envelope. In response, the chemical compatibility range documented for this device allows you to verify suitability for your specific sample matrix before processing, avoiding the mid-filtration failures that waste both sample and time. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.

- Microplastic Counting - Provides a high-contrast background for identifying colored microplastics in environmental water or sand extracts.
- Airborne Metals Analysis - Captures industrial dust for acid digestion and analysis, ensuring accurate monitoring of workplace exposure limits.
- Fluid Venting Barriers - Integrated into IV spikes to allow air to enter the bottle while preventing the liquid medication from leaking out.
- Cleanroom Monitoring - Used in active air samplers to collect viable particles in cleanrooms for subsequent culture and identification.
- Blood Serum separation - Separates serum from whole blood in vertical flow devices, trapping red cells while allowing clean serum to pass.
- Diagnostic Strip Wicking - Acts as a reliable sample pad in lateral flow tests, controlling the rate of fluid release onto the reaction membrane.
