Track-etched membranes offer precise pore size control for applications requiring high filtration accuracy. Follow these simple directions to optimize performance and ensure the best results for your specific filtration needs. 

Sterlitech’s Skid Mounted Filtration Systems and Benchtop Filtration Systems are convenient solutions for testing membrane filtration processes for bench scale to small production scale. The material of construction is carefully selected to ensure high corrosion and deterioration resistance against the feed stream. This article serves as a quick guide for selecting materials to ensure long life and stable performance of the filtration setup. Please note that this article does not remove the user’s responsibility to ensure that materials are chemically compatible and to further assess the impact of their feed on the setup.

Nobuto strips are an essential tool for researchers and veterinarians conducting  fieldwork, offering a simple and effective method for collecting and preserving blood samples. These samples are typically collected from a wide range of animals, including wildlife species (such as birds, reptiles, and mammals), livestock (like cattle, sheep, and goats), and domestic animals (such as dogs and cats). The reasons for blood collection vary, ranging from disease surveillance and health assessments to monitoring environmental toxins and conducting genetic studies. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of your results, it’s essential to follow best practices when using Nobuto strips. Below are key guidelines to help you optimize your fieldwork and sample collection process.

Spacer is an essential component in a commercial scale membrane filtration process. It is used to provide a separation layer between membrane leaves in spiral wound membrane elements and offer a layer of support. Spacers are usually made of Polypropylene and produced in various geometries, thicknesses, and sizes, to allow for optimum enhancement of membrane process performance. They enhance the mixing within the feed channel to increase the mass transfer by reducing the concentration polarization [1]. Also, they can reduce the membrane fouling effect in some applications 

Silicone oil is commonly used in various industries, including automotive, cosmetics, and medical devices, due to its lubricating, insulating, and water-repellent properties. When selecting a membrane for applications involving silicone oil, it’s crucial to consider the material's ability to repel the oil effectively while allowing air to vent through.

The HP4750 Stirred Cell is a reliable and convenient bench scale dead-end filtration setup used for preliminary experiments in evaluating membrane processes. The cell is constructed from 316 stainless steel (316SS) and is designed to hold up to 300 ml of sample, featuring very convenient and easy assembling and operating procedures. The HP4750 is commonly used to test membrane performance and is rated for an applied pressure of up to 69 bar, most commonly using nitrogen gas to pressurize the cell. One observation that can arise while using the HP4750 cell is the nitrogen bubbling phenomenon which may negatively affect experiments. The nitrogen bubbling phenomenon can impact the water filtration process, and understanding its causes and solutions is crucial for achieving reliable experimental outcomes.

Flow-through assay (FTA) is a diagnostic test that allows users to detect the presence of specific biomarkers, typically antibodies, in a sample such as blood. Flow-through assays are particularly useful in POC settings, allowing rapid detection of specific biomarkers without specialized lab equipment and extensive training.
