Polyester Membrane (PETE) Features, Benefits and Applications
- Naturally hydrophilic. Eliminates the need for wetting agents
that can potentially interfere with biological processes.
- Chemically resistant polyester has a high range of chemical
compatibility. Resistant to most commonly used chemicals and chemically
aggressive at less than half the cost of polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) filters.
- Smooth, thin, glass-like surface. Captures all particles on
the surface.
- Precise pore size and density. Provides flow control for liquids
moving through the membrane and captures 100 percent of cells
larger than pore size.
- Superior strength. With a tensile strength of 207 bar (>
3000 psi) maintains pore size and density and will not stretch
during use. without stretching.
- No extractables. Ensures tests will be clean promoting consistent
results.
- Low protein binding. Low binding of < 5 µg/cm² prohibits
absorption of cells being filtered.
- Negligible absorption/adsorption. Maximizes critical solution
retention.
Applications
- General filtration
- Removal of red blood cells from plasma
- Flow control of reagents through assay
- Precise filtration and prefiltration
