Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 0.8um Pore Size, 19mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10417304

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10417304

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.8 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. A uniform Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) matrix maintains its rated 0.8 cutoff under the pressures and flow conditions encountered during routine laboratory filtration. Altogether, 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

• Manufactured with tight pore size control for precise separation of cells and particulates.
• Economical bulk packaging supports laboratories with high consumable throughput where individual sterile wrapping is unnecessary.
• Offer a smooth, flat glass-like surface specifically designed for microscopy analysis.
• Uniform pore density across the membrane surface ensures representative sampling for environmental and biological particulate analysis.
• Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.

Multi-site studies where different laboratories must produce comparable data benefit from membranes manufactured to tight specifications, giving you confidence that site-to-site variability is not introduced by the filtration step. Specifically, the precisely etched, cylindrical pores of track-etched polycarbonate provide the sharpest size cutoff of any polymeric membrane, giving you near-absolute retention at the rated pore diameter for applications where size-selective capture is critical. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.

Hydrophilic

• 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.
• Asbestos Analysis - Provides a smooth, flat surface for collecting airborne fibers, allowing for direct counting via phase-contrast light microscopy.
• Liposome Sizing - Used in extrusion devices to force lipid suspensions through exact pores, creating uniform unilamellar vesicles for drug delivery.
