Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 0.2um Pore Size, 13mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10417001

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10417001

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.2 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Optimized for laboratory use, precision membrane geometry balances retention sharpness with sustainable flow rates, minimizing the pressure buildup that leads to premature filter replacement. For this reason, 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

• Track-etched Polycarbonate membranes feature perfectly cylindrical pores for absolute fractionation.
• Uniform pore density across the membrane surface ensures representative sampling for environmental and biological particulate analysis.
• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.
• Non-sterile configuration is suited for analytical sample preparation, mobile phase filtration, and other workflows where pre-sterilization is not required.
• Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.

Reporting filtration parameters alongside your analytical results demands documented pore size, material chemistry, and lot traceability — the membrane specifications above provide the specificity that reviewers and auditors expect. For applications like these, polycarbonate's optical clarity when wet allows direct on-membrane visualization without clearing or staining steps, streamlining your microscopy workflow and reducing the sample preparation time between filtration and analysis. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.

Wettability

Hydrophilic

• Chemotaxis Migration - Acts as a precise barrier in Boyden chambers to measure cell migration towards chemoattractants without passive diffusion.
• Exosome Isolation - Separates extracellular vesicles from larger cell debris using defined pore sizes, preventing contamination in RNA analysis.
• Oceanographic Sampling - Fractionates plankton populations by size in seawater, ensuring precise separation for biomass and diversity studies.
• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
• Legionella Recovery - Captures bacteria from hot water samples on a flat plane for direct fluorescent antibody staining and microscope counting.
• Parasite Detection - Concentrates blood samples to detect microfilariae on a transparent surface, simplifying identification without staining.
