Nylon Membrane Filter, 5.0um, 150mm, Nonsterile, 50 Pk SKU: SF18003

Nylon Membrane Filters - SF18003

Precision-manufactured hydrophilic membrane with a verified 5.0 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. Controlled production conditions produce membranes with documented pore size distribution and thickness tolerances, supporting method reproducibility across multiple filter lots.

Material Specifications

• High mechanical strength allows Nylon membranes to withstand elevated differential pressures without structural deformation.
• Thermal stability of the membrane material allows safe operation at temperatures up to 60°C without degradation of retention characteristics or dimensional integrity.
• Broad compatibility with alcohols, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and aromatic solvents extends Nylon filtration into mixed-solvent sample preparation.
• Alkaline-resistant and compatible with a broad range of aqueous buffers used in pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories.
• Flexible and durable, eliminating the need for wetting agents that could contaminate samples.

Reproducible particle counting starts with a membrane surface that captures particles uniformly. The pore consistency documented above ensures your counts reflect the sample, not filter variation. For this application, inherent hydrophilic character eliminates the pre-wetting step required by other membrane types, letting you begin aqueous filtration immediately and reduce hands-on preparation time. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.

Hydrophilic

• Southern Blot Transfer - Binds nucleic acids strongly during capillary transfer, providing a durable matrix for repeated hybridization cycles.
• Gene Mapping Support - Provides a stable, charge-modified surface for DNA immobilization, facilitating precise gene mapping and analysis steps.
• Alkaline Filtration - Withstands high-pH solutions during industrial fluid processing, offering durability where other polymers might degrade.
• Northern Blotting - Excellent for RNA transfer applications where high tensile strength is required for multiple rounds of probe stripping.
• Solid Phase Extraction - Acts as a frit or barrier in custom extraction columns, retaining sorbent beds while allowing solvent to pass through.
• Atmospheric Testing - Used in dry deposition sampling to capture specific atmospheric nitrates and sulfates for environmental quality studies.
