What is track-etched membrane?

What is track-etched membrane?

Track-etched membranes feature a unique pore structure that offers the smallest tolerances regarding pore sizes and pore density on the market. The unique two-step process allows Oxyphen to target specific customer requirements regarding pore size and density that affect air flow and water entry pressure.

What is polycarbonate membrane?

polycarbonate membranes are true pore size microporous membranes featuring the sharp cut-off and reproducible microfiltration characteristics of track-etched membrane filters. Cytiva business offers a variety of Whatman PCTE membrane filters for gravimetric analyses.

What is polycarbonate membrane filter?

Polycarbonate Track Etch (PCTE) membranes are made from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film material. It is ideally suited for use in blood assays and high-purity and general filtration.

What is polyester membrane?

Our solvent resistant, hydrophilic polyester track etch (PETE) membranes are made from a thin, translucent, microporous, polyester film and are ideal for use in blood assays, microscopic analysis, and the general filtration of samples.

What is Isopore?

a spore which does not arise through sexual reproduction.

Is polyester a synthetic polymer?

Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, polyethylene, polyester, Teflon, and epoxy. Vulcanized rubber is a synthetic (man-made) polymer, while pectin is an example of a natural polymer.

Is polyester synthetic or natural?

Polyester is a synthetic fiber, but its raw materials still come from nature. Most polyester is made out of petroleum, a natural non-renewable resource.

Which one is a synthetic polymer?

Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, polyethylene, polyester, Teflon, and epoxy.

What are some drawbacks of using synthetic materials?

Disadvantages of Synthetic Fibres

  • Synthetic fibers require attention while ironing since they tend to melt away easily.
  • Most of these fibres absorb very little. So, they stick to the body while sweating on hot summer days.
  • Synthetic fibers are prone to catch fire very easily.
  • These fibres are non-biodegradable.

What are Nuclepore track-etched membranes?

Nuclepore track-etched hydrophilic membranes with highly defined pore size cutoff in the sub-micron range Nuclepore track-etched hydrophilic membrane filters offer a highly defined pore size cutoff in the sub-micron range, enabling particle deformity measurement and capture of extremely small particles.

How to dissolve polycarbonate track-etch (PCTE) membrane filters?

The polycarbonate track-etch (PCTE) membrane filters can be dissolved with dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).

What are the benefits of using sterlitech polycarbonate or polyester filter membranes?

Q. What are the benefits of using Sterlitech Polycarbonate or Polyester filter membranes? A. Sterlitech Polycarbonate Track Etch (PCTE) and Polyester Track Etch (PETE) filters offer the lowest, non-specific binding of any filter membrane.

Why cycytiva black membrane filters?
