October 13, 2021Priorities change as science evolves; shouldn’t your lab equipment too? Sterlitech’s innovative Convertible Skid incorporates multiple pumps, liquid tanks, pressure and temperature controls that enable its users to operate in multiple modes: pressure-driven membrane filtration (Reverse Osmosis, Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, and Nanofiltration), osmotically-driven (Forward Osmosis), and temperature-driven (Membrane Distillation) processes.

August 13, 2021Summary:Tissue engineering is a broad, interdisciplinary field that has contributed significant progress to regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and disease pathology. While tissue engineering (TE) is complex and highly variable in practice, the TE paradigm relies on three essential steps, namely scaffolding, seeding, and stimuli.

July 12, 2021Pre-Conditioning, Use, and Preservation.What is membrane preconditioning and why is it recommended to precondition new flat sheet or spiral wound membranes prior to use?Membrane preconditioning is a filtration step using deionized water as feed solution and is typically performed at a pressure equal to or higher than the anticipated testing pressure.

Many of our customers are running multiple tests simultaneously. Their bench tops are covered in manifolds, tubing, flasks, and a pump; space is limited. Test results need to be recorded. Membranes need to be changed. Funnels need to be refilled with solution. Time to repeat.

Retain more process fluids, save time and budget on maintenance, increase heat transfer efficiency by up to 50%, and integrate into your existing system, or upgrade to a new skid-mounted heater exchange system.
We want to do better.

Usually, researchers start with bench-scale feasibility testing.
That means using a membrane sample from a large-scale membrane module offered by commercial manufacturers and testing that in a bench-scale filtration setup.

February 04, 2021HPLC and solvent purification applications will often involve samples that contain a combination of solvents and acids that other vacuum pumps just can’t handle, making them prone to faster wear and tear. On top of that, labs also have to grapple with and spend money on time-consuming maintenance tasks such as regular oil changes to keep their vacuum pumps in good working condition.

January 04, 2021An overflow of liquid is unavoidable during vacuum filtration. However, this excess in liquid can potentially damage your vacuum pump’s motor and internal components as the overflow is sucked into the pump. Sterlitech constantly aims to simplify your lab processes and provide innovative lab solutions, which is why we are proud to introduce a brand new line of filtration products featuring built-in Prote Overflow Protection.

December 21, 2020Thin film track etched membranes, commonly referred to as polycarbonate (PCTE) and polyester (PET) filters, feature a unique pore structure and optical clarity unlike most filters. A complex, two step manufacturing process involving ion bombardment of the film followed by a chemical bath results in this attractive membrane exhibiting a smooth surface interrupted with the appearance of wrinkles, or rather waves, which may be concerning to first time users.
