Membrane Finder
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:
● Clearly define your application requirements
● Choose a compatible membrane
● Select the most effective and efficient pore size
Selecting Membranes for Your Applications
|
For Filtration: |
|
● |
Determine the particle size to be retained or filtered. Membrane will retain all particles equal to and larger than their designated pore size. |
|
● |
Assess the chemical compatibility of the membrane filter with the liquid or gas to be filtered. Consider the chemical resistance properties of all parts that will contact the filter. |
|
● |
Consider hydrophilic or hydrophobic membrane; temperature, flow rate, throughput, and sterilization needs. |
|
For Non-Filtration: |
|
● |
Assess the interaction (e.g., adsorption or binding) of reagents to be used on the membrane with surface chemistry of the membrane. |
|
● |
Determine the chemical compatibility (e.g., background intensity) of the membrane with reagents to be used. |
|
● |
Consider hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, strength, and pore size of the membrane for processability.
