Supor (PES) Membrane Filters - 68123
The Pall 68123 combines a controlled pore size distribution with low extractable levels, ensuring the data accuracy that sensitive analytical methods require. Complementing this, uniform pore size distribution across the membrane surface ensures consistent particle retention from center to edge, supporting reproducible analytical and preparative results. With this in mind, controlled production conditions produce membranes with documented pore size distribution and thickness tolerances, supporting method reproducibility across multiple filter lots.
Material Specifications
- Rigorous quality controls validate retention performance at rated pore sizes, positioning Supor as a primary membrane choice for critical filtration in biopharmaceutical production.
- Broad chemical compatibility across pH 1–14 enables Supor membranes to process acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions without membrane degradation.
- Bulk format reduces per-unit packaging waste and cost, appropriate for routine particulate removal and clarification where aseptic handling is not specified.
- Temperature rating of 55°C provides the thermal headroom required for warm sample processing, heated media preparation, and elevated-temperature analytical methods.
- Consistent lot-to-lot performance supports standardized filtration protocols, reducing the revalidation burden when transitioning between production lots.
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.
