amcAccupor

amcAccupor

 

amcAccupor membrane is a highly microporous membrane composed of modified polyethersulfone that is a tough, durable, and temperature resistant aromatic polymer.

amcAccupor membrane provides high flow rate, low extractables, and greater mechanical strength than competitive membranes.  This membrane was specifically designed for biological, analytical, electronic, pharmaceutical, beverage, and sterilizing filtration applications.

amcAccupor membrane is available in pore sizes ranging from 0.03 μm to 5 μm.  lt is inherently hydrophilic as standard, but can be made hydrophobic upon request.

 

Performance Advantages

  • High flow rates and throughputs allowing faster filtration times
  • Low protein binding and high drug compatibility to maximize recovery of critical media components
  • No external wetting agents added (in hydrophili version) to avoid the introduction of unwanted extractables into your solution
  • High durability permitting repeated folding without breaking
  • High thermal stability which permits autoclave sterlization
  • Versayile sterilizability enabling sterilization by gamma radiation or Eto                                                                                        

Features/Benefits

  • Manufactured under cGMPs to ensure highest level of quality and consistency
  • High throughputs to minimize filter change during batch processing
  • Chemically resistant aromatic polymer menbrane to climinate problems associated with hydrolysis of the filter media during use
  • Low extractables to assure product purity

125I-Iabeled BSA (1.6 ug) or 32P-Iabeled DNA (500 ng) were diluted in PBS (BSA) to 5 ml or Tris-EDTA (DNA) and filtered through a 13 mm disc of the indicated membrane. Filtration was conducted using a 10 ml syringe at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/minute. Binding was determined by comparing the amount of radioactivity remaining in the membrane (triplicate) to the activity of the starting material by counting the disc or solution in a scintillation counter. Brand A nylon membrane is designed for biomolecular binding and was used as a positive control.

amcAccupor modified polyethersulfone membranes outperform nylon and PVDF membranes of the same pore size in terms of biomolecular binding, flow rate and total throughput.
