MEMBRANE FILTERS
Membrane filtration offer a very convenient, fast and economical separation method.
CM: cellulose mixed ester membrane
Particularly suitable for aqueous
solutions. They are hydrophilic.
Thermally stable to 121°C. Ideal for
gravimetric analysis and are often used
for contamination tests.
PTFE:polytetrafluoroethylenemembranes
Particularly suitable with aggressive
media, as well as to concentrated acids
and bases. They are hydrophobic, they
can be used up to 145°C.
RC: regeneratedcellulosemembranes
These membranes are resistant to most
organic solvents. They are mostly used
for filtration of solvent mixtures and ultra-
purification and degassing of HPLC
eluents.
CA: cellulose acetate membranes
They have a low protein binding capacity
and they are suited for aqueous and
alcoholic media. They are hydrophobic
and can be used for hot gases up to
180°C.
NC: nitrocellulose membranes
They are easily wettable and suited
for filtration of aqueous solutions. In
dry atmosphere these membranes are
thermally stable at 125°C and can be
autoclaved at 121°C.
PE: polyester membranes
They are hydrophilic. Particularly
suitable for fine titration, dust analysis,
aerosol analysis and ultra-purification of
solvents.
GF/C: glass fibre filter
Suitable for determination of liquid
scintillation counting and total suspended
solids collection in potable water and
in industrial waste. Grade 50C glass
fibre filters are hydrophilic and medium
/ fast, very high loading. They resist
temperatures up to 500°C.
