Can I filter aqueous solutions through a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hydrophobic membrane?
Yes, but the membrane requires pre-wetting with alcohol (like Isopropanol or Methanol) to establish flow with reasonable pressure differentials.  We often use a 60/40 solution (60 Isopropanol/ 40 water) to prewet the membrane.
