0.1~10.0 Micron Microporous Filter Membrane
Introduction:
A microporous filter membrane is a type of filtration membrane used to separate particles and microorganisms from a fluid. It works by allowing smaller particles and solvents to pass through while retaining larger particles, colloids, and microorganisms. Pore sizes typically ranging from 0.1 to 10 micrometers.
Applications:
Microfiltration is considered one of the less aggressive forms of membrane filtration, often used for clarifying fluids, removing suspended solids, and sterilizing liquids.
Fields:
Microporous filter membranes are used in a variety of applications including water treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, and industrial processes, etc.

Selection reference for filter membranes: (Specifically depends on chemical compatibility)
- For hydrophilic samples suitable for filtering water-based solutions, choose hydrophilic membrane discs. Available membrane discs include: CN-CA (water membrane), PES membrane, nylon membrane, PP membrane, etc.
- For highly corrosive organic solvents: choose membranes such as PTFE.
- For protein solutions, choose membranes with low protein adsorption, such as CN-CA, PES, PTFE, and PVDF hydrophilic membranes.
- For ion chromatography: generally choose PES filter membranes.
- For gas and steam filtration, choose hydrophobic membranes such as PTFE or PVDF.
- For high-temperature liquids, choose PES filter membranes, PVDF hydrophilic, or PTFE hydrophilic membranes.
