Description
Cellulose Nitrate Membrane Filters are reliable filtration tools designed for general laboratory applications that require efficient particle retention and cell capture. These filters are known for their high flow rates, hydrophilic properties, and compatibility with both aqueous solutions and certain organic solvents. Their symmetric structure ensures consistent performance across various applications.
Key Features:
- Hydrophilic Nature: Provides efficient filtration of aqueous solutions without the need for pre-treatment.
- High Flow Rates: Optimized symmetric structure allows for rapid and reliable filtration.
- Broad Chemical Compatibility: Suitable for use with aqueous solutions (pH 4 to 8), hydrocarbons, and various organic solvents.
- Effective Particle Retention: Excellent at capturing particles in aqueous solutions and air, making it versatile for various applications.
- Versatile Use: Applicable to a wide range of laboratory and industrial processes.
Recommended Applications:
- Sample Preparation for HPLC: Ensures optimal sample filtration for high-precision analysis.
- Aqueous and Solvent Filtration: Effectively filters both water-based and organic solutions.
- Sterile Filtration & Clarification: Reliable for sterilizing or clarifying media and buffers.
- Microbiological Testing: Ideal for microbial analysis and sample preparation.
- Clarification and Particle Removal: Removes particulates efficiently from aqueous solutions.
- Quality Control and Monitoring: Applicable for fluid holding tanks, air monitoring, particle collection, and analytical procedures.
