The following information will help you select our best microporous membranes suitable for your applications. As always, when selecting filtration membranes, there are three key steps to consider:
ˇń Clearly define your application requirements
ˇń Choose a compatible membrane
ˇń Select the most effective and efficient pore size

For Filtration:
ˇń  Determine the particle size to be retained or filtered. Membrane will retain all particles equal
ˇˇ to and larger than their designated pore size.
ˇń  Assess the chemical compatibility of the membrane filter with the liquid or gas to be filtered.
ˇˇ Consider the chemical resistance properties of all parts that will contact the filter.
ˇń  Consider hydrophilic or hydrophobic membrane; temperature, flow rate, throughput, and
ˇˇ sterilization needs.

For Non-Filtration:
ˇń   Assess the interaction (e.g., adsorption or binding) of reagents to be used on the membrane
ˇˇˇˇwith surface chemistry of the membrane.
ˇń   Determine the chemical compatibility (e.g., background intensity) of the membrane with
ˇˇˇˇreagents to be used.
ˇń   Consider hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, strength, and pore size of the membrane for
ˇˇˇˇprocessability.
