Key Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Membrane Characteristics
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with hydrophobic (standard) / hydrophilic (treated) affinity
- Chemically Inert Characteristics
- Universal resistance to aggressive organic solvents, strong acids, and alkalis
- Hydrophobic version requires alcohol pre-wetting for aqueous solutions
- Verified 5.0 retention rating for clarification
By selecting a filter that matches the exact chemical nature of your samples, you ensure that your workflow remains uninterrupted by membrane failures. Trust in the consistent performance of your filtration step to remove the variables that often lead to costly re-runs and ambiguous data. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
