Polycarbonate Track Etched (PCTE) Membrane-GVS 1215078

Description and Use

GVS 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. Though polycarbonate is hydrophobic, the membrane is treated with a wetting agent to make it hydrophilic.

Features and Benefits
GVS PCTE Membrane offers many features and benefits.

• 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
• Negligible absorption/adsorption:Maximizes critical solution recovery
• Available as hydrophilic or hydrophobic:Allows for a wide range of product applications

Typical Applications

• General filtration
• Removal of red blood cells from plasma
• Flow control of reagents through assay
• Precise filtration and prefiltration
