Sterlitech
Polyester (PETE) Membranes
Polyester PETE membrane
is made from a thin, microporous, hydrophilic polyester material
film with a high degree of solvent resistance. It is ideal for use
in blood assays or general filtration where chemically aggressive
solvents may be used.
Product Uniformity and High Sensitivity
Maximum Performance
Sterlitech
Polyester membrane is produced through a two-step proprietary manufacturing
process that employs high quality standards throughout production.
This unique process allows for increased control over pore size
and pore density to ensure the physical properties of each membrane
precisely fit customer specifications.
In the
first step, thin polyester film is exposed to collimated, charged
particles from a nuclear reactor. As these particles pass through
the polyester 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, microporous polyester
film with a smooth, flat surface containing pores of controlled
diameter and number. The membrane has better solvent resistance
than polycarbonate and captures all particles smaller that the precisely
controlled pore size on its surface. Sterlitech PETE membrane is
ideal for use when analyzing blood samples or particle analysis
by microscopy.
