Nuclepore Hydrophilic Membrane, 10.0um Pore Size, 47mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10418412

Polycarbonate Track-Etched (PCTE) Membrane Filters - 10418412

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 10.0 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Verified 10.0 pore distribution across the Hydrophilic membrane surface guarantees batch-to-batch consistency in particle capture and analyte passage. Together, each membrane disc reflects a manufacturing standard where retention characteristics, physical integrity, and dimensional accuracy are verified before release.

Material Specifications

• 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.
• Low protein binding and biologically inert surface properties make track-etched Polycarbonate compatible with cell biology and cytology workflows.
• 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.

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. Meeting this challenge, defined pore geometry gives you a membrane that functions as a precision sieve, capturing particles strictly by size rather than the impaction and diffusion mechanisms that depth filters rely on. 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.

Hydrophilic

• Erythrocyte Deformability - Mimics capillary dimensions to test red blood cell flexibility and rheology in clinical hemorheology research.
• Chemotaxis Migration - Acts as a precise barrier in Boyden chambers to measure cell migration towards chemoattractants without passive diffusion.
• Legionella Recovery - Captures bacteria from hot water samples on a flat plane for direct fluorescent antibody staining and microscope counting.
• Asbestos Analysis - Provides a smooth, flat surface for collecting airborne fibers, allowing for direct counting via phase-contrast light microscopy.
• Parasite Detection - Concentrates blood samples to detect microfilariae on a transparent surface, simplifying identification without staining.
• Liposome Sizing - Used in extrusion devices to force lipid suspensions through exact pores, creating uniform unilamellar vesicles for drug delivery.
