Nylon Membrane Filters - 66608
The Pall 66608 combines a controlled pore size distribution with low extractable levels, ensuring the data accuracy that sensitive analytical methods require. Verified 0.45 pore distribution across the Hydrophilic membrane surface guarantees batch-to-batch consistency in particle capture and analyte passage. 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.
- Materials of construction maintain their mechanical and chemical properties at temperatures up to 55°C, supporting heated filtration protocols.
- Ideal for filtering aqueous biological solutions and mobile phases.
- Alkaline-resistant and compatible with a broad range of aqueous buffers used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories.
- Naturally hydrophilic and constructed with high tensile strength, Nylon provides reliable performance without pre-wetting in aqueous applications.
Scaling from development to routine production requires membrane consistency at every lot, and the documented specifications provide the reproducibility needed to validate the filtration step once. In this context, natural wettability lets you begin filtration immediately upon sample contact, eliminating the bubble formation and flow interruption that hydrophobic membranes introduce without pre-treatment. 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.
