Sterlitech is proud to announce the availability of Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) inorganic microporous membrane filters. These filters are finding use in several specialty applications, ranging from nanomaterials synthesis (where they perform best), graphene synthesis (Buckypaper) and testing, HPLC mobile phase filtering, liposome filtering, environmental monitoring, and more! The Sterlitech alumina membranes are also a suitable alternative to Whatman Anodisc© filters.
These anodized alumina filters are distinguished by swift filtration speed owing to their high pore density, efficient separation, and high purity. The inorganic material is constructed of numerous, narrowly distributed pores in the form of honeycombs yielding a high degree of open space.
Adding to their features, these membranes become almost completely transparent when wet, and display minimal auto-fluorescence, making them well-suited for epifluorescent light microscopy. As particles are retained on the smooth surface, the

March 13, 2017Continuing demand for low energy solutions to separation challenges have fueled Sterlitech’s latest product release: an Air Gap Membrane Distillation Cell. The first commercially available bench-scale tangential flow test cell of its kind, it mimics conditions representative of large-scale systems with minimal use of membrane or product. The AGMD cell offers researchers fast and accurate performance data to easily evaluate the performance of membranes and/or the efficiency of a given process with respect to their application.

February 24, 2017Sterlitech is launching Synder Filtration’s new "SM" flat sheet membrane. This is a PES based ultrafiltration membrane commonly used for specialty protein separation, skim milk protein concentrate/isolate production and beverage clarification. SM membrane conforms to 3-A, FDA, and USDA sanitary standards and provides good resistance to pH and temperature as well as a high resistance to fouling.

February 03, 2017Membrane fouling, defined as the accumulation of particles and organic matter at the surface or in the pores of membranes occurs during membrane filtration. Membrane fouling results in membrane performance loss, i.e. lower rejection values, lower permeate flux and higher pressure drop, which translates into higher operational cost. The extent of fouling depends on the feed quality, operating conditions, membrane characteristics and module design.

December 12, 2016Our skid mounted membrane filtration systems are specifically designed to bring a new level of ease to bench scale testing of membrane filters and small batch processing. The goal for developing this product was to help our customer do what they do best – research and develop – and minimize time plumbing, wiring and waiting! We are also aiming to ship each skid mounted system within 2 weeks of purchase date.

December 07, 2016Sterlitech Corporation is proud to announce the launch of gold-sputtered polycarbonate membrane filters. “Why gold? What is sputtered?” you may ask. Well, some particles are just too small to see with an ordinary light microscope, for these things we need get down to details not seen by traditional microscopy.
