Pall MicroFunnel Filter Funnel w/ Polycarbonate Membrane, 0.4um, 300mL - 20/Pk - FMFNL3020

Pall Corporation engineers proprietary membrane media for the membrane filter technique, purpose-built for microbial recovery and analytical clarification at the laboratory bench. Built around a membrane held at its base, the funnel routes the whole sample across that membrane and into the flask below. Low-binding polycarbonate preserves captured particles and analytes while presenting captured particles for direct examination and holds precise cylindrical pores for a sharp size cutoff. Concentrating each sample onto a single membrane underpins the membrane filter technique behind regulated water and beverage microbiology.

Key Characteristics

• Smooth surface holds retained particles on top for microscopy and imaging
• Low protein binding preserves captured particles and analytes
• Supplied sterile for immediate aseptic use
• Thin, flat film supports clean particle-size analysis
• Track-etched polycarbonate gives precise cylindrical pores for a sharp cutoff

Accurate microbial counts depend on concentrating the whole sample onto one clean membrane surface. A reproducible membrane seat and a leak-free sample path keep your enumeration results defensible so each result you release holds up to review.

• Precise Size Cutoff - Uniform cylindrical pores give a sharp, repeatable particle-size cutoff for defined retention studies.
• SEM Sample Preparation - Flat polycarbonate presents retained particles cleanly for scanning electron microscopy imaging.
• Cell Surface Capture - The smooth membrane holds cells on top for imaging without embedding them in a fibrous depth matrix.
• Low-Binding Capture - Low adsorption preserves captured particles and analytes for accurate downstream counting and review.
• Particle Microscopy - Track-etched polycarbonate holds captured particles on a smooth surface for direct microscopic review.
• Cleanliness Analysis - Polycarbonate captures particulates on its flat face for counting and sizing under the microscope.
