Versapor Membrane Filters - 66396
The Pall 66396 protects sensitive instrumentation and sample integrity by providing reliable particulate removal with minimal analyte adsorption or background interference. Naturally wettable surface eliminates the need for surfactant pre-treatment, reducing the risk of additive interference in sensitive biological and diagnostic assays. Working in concert, each membrane disc reflects a manufacturing standard where retention characteristics, physical integrity, and dimensional accuracy are verified before release.
Material Specifications
- High tensile strength and flexibility allow Versapor membranes to withstand the mechanical stress of roll-to-roll processing and automated handling systems.
- Materials of construction maintain their mechanical and chemical properties at temperatures up to 88°C, supporting heated filtration protocols.
- Broad compatibility with diagnostic reagents and biological fluids makes Versapor a reliable membrane for lateral flow device and blood separation applications.
- Non-sterile configuration is suited for analytical sample preparation, mobile phase filtration, and other workflows where pre-sterilization is not required.
- Chemical resistance to common processing agents enables integration of Versapor membranes into devices requiring post-assembly gamma or EtO treatment.
Maintaining accreditation under ISO 17025 or similar quality frameworks requires documented traceability at every step — the specification compliance of each membrane lot supports your ongoing audit readiness. 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. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.

- Blood Serum separation - Separates serum from whole blood in vertical flow devices, trapping red cells while allowing clean serum to pass.
- Automated Tape Sampling - Provides the tensile strength needed for roll-to-roll air monitoring systems that index fresh filter tape automatically.
- Airborne Metals Analysis - Captures industrial dust for acid digestion and analysis, ensuring accurate monitoring of workplace exposure limits.
- Proteomic Sample Prep - Clarifies viscous lysates prior to mass spectrometry, removing large debris without stripping hydrophobic peptides.
- Cleanroom Monitoring - Used in active air samplers to collect viable particles in cleanrooms for subsequent culture and identification.
- Diagnostic Strip Wicking - Acts as a reliable sample pad in lateral flow tests, controlling the rate of fluid release onto the reaction membrane.
