Filtration is necessary for many laboratory procedures. This blog will tackle the difference between CFF, TFF, and even direct flow filtration within the confines of their own industries.

A broad spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 virus strains could potentially be prevented using nanoparticles with evACE2 protein found in human blood. Breakthrough aims to develop biological treatment via droplets in the airway.

Cell culture techniques have enabled scientists to use cell cultures in a variety of experimental research and biological assays to produce therapeutic approaches without the need to harm animals.

The aluminum oxide (AO) membrane filters are extremely brittle and will fracture if subjected to bending.  Great care must be used when handling and placing the filters.  They cannot be handled using fingers.  They must be handled with smooth membrane tweezers or with vacuum tweezers, such as SPI 00016-AB or similar.  When choosing vacuum tweezers, make sure to select one that apply continuous vacuum with an electrically powered motor.  Continuous vacuum is required since the AO membrane is permeable and will have some small airflow.  Don't bother trying
