Supor (PES) Membrane Filters - 66553
Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.45 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Complementing this, uniform pore size distribution across the membrane surface ensures consistent particle retention from center to edge, supporting reproducible analytical and preparative results. Ultimately, 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
- Rigorous quality controls validate retention performance at rated pore sizes, positioning Supor as a primary membrane choice for critical filtration in biopharmaceutical production.
- Packaged without sterilization for applications where downstream sterility is achieved by other means or is not a process requirement.
- Broad chemical compatibility across pH 1–14 enables Supor membranes to process acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions without membrane degradation.
- Ultra-low protein binding preserves the biological activity of growth factors, cytokines, and other sensitive proteins during membrane passage.
- Asymmetric pore architecture concentrates the retentive skin at the upstream surface while maintaining an open substructure for sustained throughput under vacuum or pressure.
Environmental monitoring programs where sample-to-sample comparability determines trend validity benefit directly from the lot-level consistency of these membranes, removing the filter as a variable in your long-term data sets. Complete specification documentation for this device supports the traceability requirements of your quality system, providing the recorded evidence of consumable performance that auditors and method reviewers expect to see. 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.
