Regenerated Cellulose (RC) Membrane Filters - 10410314
The Whatman 10410314 protects sensitive instrumentation and sample integrity by providing reliable particulate removal with minimal analyte adsorption or background interference. Developed with critical workflows in mind, reproducible separation characteristics define the membrane structure, protecting downstream instruments and preserving sample integrity throughout the filtration process. Precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.
Material Specifications
- Non-sterile configuration is suited for analytical sample preparation, mobile phase filtration, and other workflows where pre-sterilization is not required.
- Regenerated Cellulose offers excellent chemical resistance to both aqueous and organic solvents.
- Minimal extractable levels make Regenerated Cellulose a reliable choice for analytical applications where background interference must be minimized.
- Mechanically stable and hydrophilic, often used for HPLC mobile phase degassing.
- A premium choice for broad chemical compatibility without requiring pre-wetting.
When your analytical method specifies membrane filtration as a sample preparation step, the retention characteristics and extractable profiles documented above allow you to meet method requirements without additional qualification work. With this in mind, regenerated cellulose offers the lowest non-specific protein binding of any cellulose-based membrane, ensuring that your biological filtrates retain analyte concentrations close to the original sample without significant adsorptive loss. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
