Polycarbonate Syringe Filters, 0.08um, 90mm, Nonsterile, 30/Pk
GVS SKU: 1222094

Featuring a thin, microporous polycarbonate track etched (PCTE) film with precisely defined, cylindrical pores, this 0.08um hydrophilic membrane disc delivers surface capture of all particles larger than its pore size across a 90mm format. Track-etched construction produces a smooth, translucent, glass-like surface that supports optical and electron microscopy while maintaining tight pore size distribution for precise size separation.

Key Polycarbonate Track Etch Membrane Characteristics

• Hydrophilic surface achieved by treatment with a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) wetting agent, since the base polycarbonate is naturally hydrophobic.
• Precisely controlled, cylindrical pores formed by a two-step ion track and chemical etch process for narrow pore distribution and precise size separation.
• Captures 100 percent of particles larger than the 0.08um pore size on the membrane surface for clean recovery and viewing.
• Smooth, thin, translucent film resists chemical staining to ease microscopic visualization and minimize background interference.
• Low protein binding and low extractables support consistent, high-purity filtration results.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Polycarbonate Track Etch (PCTE) membrane material in a plain (non-gridded) disc format.
• 90mm membrane diameter with a 0.08um pore size.
• Nonsterile, supplied 30 per pack.
• Withstands a maximum use temperature of 140 degrees C (284 degrees F).

This membrane provides dependable surface filtration with tight pore control, supporting reproducible particle capture and sample integrity. Its smooth, low-binding surface keeps recovered samples clean and clearly viewable. The result is consistent performance for high-purity and general filtration tasks.

• Microscopy Sample Preparation The smooth, translucent surface captures particles for direct observation with optical or electron microscopes without distracting pore outlines.
• High-Purity Filtration Precise cylindrical pores and low extractables support clarification of samples where contamination must be minimized.
• Blood and Cellular Assays Surface capture of cells larger than the pore size suits blood studies and cellular-based filtration work.
• Particle Capture and Analysis Narrow pore distribution provides uniform sample capture on the membrane surface for downstream particle identification.
• General Laboratory Filtration Hydrophilic PVP-treated film delivers reliable flow control for aqueous samples in routine filtration.
• Prefiltration and Size Separation Absolute pore size enables precise size fractionation and protection of downstream processes.
