Nylon Membrane Filters - 68121ME
Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.45 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Quality-controlled manufacturing ensures the filtration medium delivers the retention efficiency and throughput that demanding laboratory protocols require. Precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.
Material Specifications
- 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.
- Broad compatibility with alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and aromatic solvents extends Nylon filtration into mixed-solvent sample preparation.
- Thermal stability of the membrane material allows safe operation at temperatures up to 55°C without degradation of retention characteristics or dimensional integrity.
- Bulk format reduces per-unit packaging waste and cost, appropriate for routine particulate removal and clarification where aseptic handling is not specified.
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. Addressing this directly, dual compatibility with aqueous and organic solvent systems reduces your consumable inventory. A single membrane chemistry handles buffer filtration, mobile phase preparation, and sample clarification without switching between filter types. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
