GVS life sciences PCTE membrane is made from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film material. It is ideally suited for use in blood assays and high-purity and general filtration.

Features

• Absolute pore size and density: provides flow control for liquids moving through the membrane capturing 100 percent of cells larger than pore size
• Smooth, thin, glass-like surface: planar surface makes it ideal for particle identification by microscopy
• Superior strength: tensile strength of 207 bar (> 3000 psi) maintains pore size and density, and will not stretch
• Low extractables: ensures tests will be clean promoting consistent results
• Low protein binding: low binding of < 5μg/cm2 minimizes loss of protein analytes
• Negligible absorption/adsorption: maximizes critical solution recovery
