Spring's New Growth Heralds New Membranes from Synder and TriSep

As part of our mission to give scientists and researchers the tools they need to make breakthroughs and advances their research, we are constantly updating our line-up of flat sheet membranes.  This spring we will be adding new Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes from Synder Filtration and new ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and microfiltration membranes from TriSep. The PX, PY, and PZ Polyacrylonotrile (PAN) ultrafiltration membranes are more hydrophilic, have lower fouling propensity compared to PVDF membranes, and are designed specifically for removing oil from feed water streams.  The new PAN membranes have a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 400 kDa (PX), 100 kDa (PY), and 30 kDa (PZ).  In addition to excelling at oil removal, Synder’s PAN membranes can be used in a wide range of separation applications such as enzyme purification. The new membranes from TriSep will cover a broad range of new applications from protein concentration to food processing and are listed below:

  • UF10: A PES ultrafiltration membrane with a MWCO of 10,000 Da.  Used for process applications involving whey, milk, eggs, sweeteners, gelatin and a wide variety of waste streams.
  • UF5: A PES ultrafiltration membrane with a MWCO of 5,000 Da.  This membrane is designed for process separations, especially in applications involving protein concentrations.
  • MF01: A PES microfiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.1 ?m. This membrane is used for clarification, fat removal, and product concentration in food processing applications.
  • SBUF: A cellulose acetate ultrafiltration membrane with a MWCO of 8000 Da.  It is used to remove color and organic contaminants from water.
  • SBNF: A cellulose acetate nanofiltration membrane with MWCO of 1,000 to 2,000 Da.  It has a 40% NaCl rejection rate at 140 psi and is also used to remove color and organics from water.

These membranes will be coming soon, so visit our Flat Sheet Membranes Section to find the latest updates to our flat-sheet membrane listings.
