November 07, 2016Precision membrane filters in pore sizes larger than 5.0 microns are hard to come by, but not at Sterlitech. One of our more popular membrane materials is Polyethersulfone (PES). The membranes are ideal for use with difficult biological solutions that tend to clog most other polymer filters, and the 0.2 micron pore size PES filter is the industry standard for sterile filtering of liquids. Sterlitech PES binds very little protein and has a very asymmetric pore structure lending to improved performance.

November 02, 2016A large part of extracting commercially important compounds from various materials involves passing a type of solvent over the substance, then filtering out any unwanted debris and by-products. This filtration step can be difficult to optimize if too many undesirable compounds are also extracted; so how can you streamline the process?

We are thrilled to offer our congratulations to David J. Thouless at the University of Washington (just a few miles up the road from Sterlitech!), F. Duncan M. Haldane at Princeton University, and J. Michael Kosterlitz at Brown University. They collectively revealed the secrets of exotic states of matter!
This year’s Laureates opened the door on an unknown world where matter can assume strange states. The scientists have utilized advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids or thin magnetic films. Thanks to their pioneering work, the hunt is now on for new and exotic phases of matter. Entrepeneurs and scientists alike are hopeful of future applications in both materials science and electronics.
The three Laureates’ use of topological concepts in physics was decisive for their discoveries. Topology is a branch of mathematics that describes properties that only change step-wise. Using topology as a tool, they were able to
