Polycarbonate Track Etch (PCTE) Membranes
Polycarbonate Track Etch
(PCTE) membrane is made from a thin, microporous polycarbonate film
material. It is ideally suited for use in blood assays and high-purity
and general filtration.
Precise
pore size and density
PCTE
membrane is produced through a two-step, proprietary manufacturing
process that employs high quality standards. This unique process
allows for increased control over pore size and density to ensure
the physical properties of each membrane precisely fit your specifications.
In the
first step, thin polycarbonate film is exposed to collimated, charged
particles from a nuclear pile. As these particles pass through the
polycarbonate material, they leave sensitized tracks. In the second,
step the polymer tracks are dissolved with an etching solution to
form cylindrical pores. Varying the temperature and strength of
the etching solution, and the exposure time to it, produces precisely
controlled pore sizes.
The
resulting membrane is a thin, translucent and microporous polycarbonate
film with a smooth, flat surface. All particles larger than the
pore size are captured on its surface. It is ideal for use when
collecting samples for blood assays or for high-purity and general
filtration.
