Nylon Membrane Filters - SF13883
Precision-manufactured hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.22 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Equally important, precision-manufactured hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.22 pore structure delivers consistent retention across the full operating range. In effect, consistent surface properties across the full membrane area support uniform particle capture and reliable results in gravimetric, microscopic, and culture-based analytical workflows.
Material Specifications
- High mechanical strength allows Nylon membranes to withstand elevated differential pressures without structural deformation.
- Flexible and durable, eliminating the need for wetting agents that could contaminate samples.
- Naturally hydrophilic and constructed with high tensile strength, Nylon provides reliable performance without pre-wetting in aqueous applications.
- Alkaline-resistant and compatible with a broad range of aqueous buffers used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories.
- Broad compatibility with alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and aromatic solvents extends Nylon filtration into mixed-solvent sample preparation.
Whether your method calls for gravimetric analysis, particle visualization, or microbial enumeration, the pore consistency documented above ensures your results reflect the sample, not the filter. Under these conditions, natural wettability lets you begin filtration immediately upon sample contact, eliminating the bubble formation and flow interruption that hydrophobic membranes introduce without pre-treatment. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
