Whatman
Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 0.8um Pore Size, 13mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10417301

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10417301

Designed to deliver reproducibility and confidence across critical sample types, the Whatman 10417301 provides the filtration consistency that method validation demands. Verified 0.8 pore distribution across the Hydrophilic membrane surface guarantees batch-to-batch consistency in particle capture and analyte passage. 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.
• Bulk packaging format provides cost-effective access for high-volume laboratories performing non-critical filtration and sample preparation.
• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.
• Manufactured with tight pore size control for precise separation of cells and particulates.
• Uniform pore density across the membrane surface ensures representative sampling for environmental and biological particulate analysis.

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, low background autofluorescence from polycarbonate membranes keeps your fluorescence microscopy signal-to-noise ratio high, ensuring that the fluorescent labels on your captured particles are what you see — not membrane interference. 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.

Wettability

Hydrophilic

• Exosome Isolation - Separates extracellular vesicles from larger cell debris using defined pore sizes, preventing contamination in RNA analysis.
• Liposome Sizing - Used in extrusion devices to force lipid suspensions through exact pores, creating uniform unilamellar vesicles for drug delivery.
• Parasite Detection - Concentrates blood samples to detect microfilariae on a transparent surface, simplifying identification without staining.
• Oceanographic Sampling - Fractionates plankton populations by size in seawater, ensuring precise separation for biomass and diversity studies.
• Chemotaxis Migration - Acts as a precise barrier in Boyden chambers to measure cell migration towards chemoattractants without passive diffusion.
• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
