Aluminum Oxide (Anopore) Membrane Filters - 6809-6022
Designed to deliver reproducibility and confidence across critical sample types, the Whatman 6809-6022 provides the filtration consistency that method validation demands. Optimized for laboratory use, precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.2 pore structure delivers consistent retention across the full operating range. Consequently, precision manufacturing ensures that each membrane disc delivers the rated retention, flow rate, and surface consistency that analytical and microbiological methods require.
Material Specifications
- Anopore Aluminum Oxide membranes feature a unique honeycomb pore structure for precision.
- Thermally stable to over 400°C, Anopore membranes withstand sterilization and high-temperature processing without structural change.
- Inorganic and extremely rigid, offering no deformation under high pressure filtration.
- Non-fibrous ceramic construction eliminates the shedding and fiber release associated with depth filter media.
- Precisely controlled pore geometry provides sharp molecular weight cutoffs for size-based separation of nanoparticles and macromolecules.
Maintaining accreditation under ISO 17025 or similar quality frameworks requires documented traceability at every step — the specification compliance of each membrane lot supports your ongoing audit readiness. Meeting this challenge, aluminum oxide's inherent resistance to bacterial colonization eliminates the biofilm formation risk that forces more frequent replacement of polymeric membranes in your long-term or intermittent-use filtration setups. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
