Cytoclear Glass Slides have been discontinued by the manufacturer due to lack of commercial interest, and are no longer available for purchase. These slides were previously used to enhance microscopic visualization with PCTE and PETE membrane filters, using a special light diffusing coating that significantly reduces the appearance of the pore edges by minimizing pore edge shadows.

Sterlitech has a new option to consider for your vent filter applications: hydrophobic polyester track-etch (PETE) membrane vent filters. The PETE membrane has been modified using a proprietary process to be rendered permanently hydrophobic. These filters may be considered for vent applications where PTFE or polyolefin membrane filters have been traditionally used. The PETE membrane filters have superior dimensional stability compared to unsupported PTFE membrane filters and have better thermal resistance than polyolefin membrane filters. Additionally, the PETE membrane filters typically have greater water entry pressures than similar pore size rated PTFE and polyolefin membrane filters while maintaining reasonable air flow rates. Finally, the inherently uniform pore structure resulting from the track-etch manufacturing process ensures that PETE membrane filters have exceptional lot to lot consistency.

These pilot skid systems are specifically designed for pilot testing of spiral wound membrane filters or small scale filtration processes. They offer more than 200 times the filtration surface available in standard bench-top filtration systems, allowing users to increase throughput and obtain results that translate for scale-up. Digital skids enable hands-free monitoring of process parameters and eliminate the need to manually record data.

Nobuto Blood Filter Strips are the bloodiest product in Sterlitech’s catalog; get some in time for Halloween sample testing! Made from high-purity cellulose fibers, these strips are structured for uniform sampling. Each strip holds approximately 0.1 mL of blood or 0.04 mL of serum.
