December 13, 2023Although suitable for everyday use outside laboratories, tap water may contain impurities, such as suspended particles, dissolved inorganic and organic compounds, dissolved gasses, and microorganisms. These impurities, unfortunately, can significantly affect the accuracy and integrity of experiments, prompting laboratories to use water purification systems that produce high-purity water needed for various lab applications.

December 13, 2023Cell culture is a laboratory method that is used to grow cells under controlled conditions outside of their natural environment, on a semipermeable track-etch membrane, attached to an insert body. Advantageous for its reproducibility and consistency of results, as well as for serving as an alternative to animal testing, cell culture is commonly used for a wide range of research and development applications, including cancer research, drug development, tissue engineering and toxicity testing.

November 15, 2023Solvent recovery is an effective way to help recycle and reuse solvents to reduce fresh solvent consumption. Solvent purification can be achieved efficiently using membrane technology, where a semi-permeable solvent resistant membrane allows the passage of one compound (mostly the solvent), while it retains others (mostly the solute).

November 15, 2023Aquagga, a startup from Tacoma, Washington, has introduced a game-changing PFAS destruction unit, "Eleanor," housed in a shipping container measuring just 10 feet by 8 feet. Eleanor recently made headlines by successfully tackling 20,000 gallons of toxic, PFAS-contaminated wastewater in Fairbanks, Alaska. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are persistent pollutants that have infiltrated drinking water sources across the United States due to their widespread use in various products.

Because they have similar outward appearance, it is easy to presume that the various microporous membrane filters and flat sheet membrane filters offered by Sterlitech have similar pore structures. Some consider symmetry to be the epitome of beauty, but with respect to filtration, it’s all relative. In reality, there is a rich variety of pore structure morphologies resulting from the techniques and materials used to manufacture the membranes.

September 14, 2023The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has announced plans to provide nearly $10 million in funding for seven pioneering initiatives to speed up the progress and evaluation of marine energy technologies. Marine energy sources, such as waves, tides, and ocean and river currents, show great potential as they are easily accessible, and predictable, and can be combined with other renewable energy options like solar, wind, and geothermal energy [1]

A team of international researchers have developed a new membrane that could improve sustainability in water management across various sectors. The newly developed thin-film composite nanoporous membrane, which is inspired in part by filter-feeding mussels, was developed for use in wastewater treatment systems.
