Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I dispose of the static eliminator?
The small static eliminators offered at https://www.sterlitech.com/static-eliminator.html, in compliance with NRC regulations, may be disposed of in normal trash.
Q: Are tweezers required for handling membrane filters?
The membrane filter tweezers offered at https://www.sterlitech.com/stainless-steel-membrane-filter-tweezers-pad-tip-ends.html are recommended for handling membrane filters to minimize the potential for contamination and damage. However, the tweezers are not mandatory and most membrane filters can be installed by hand. Gloves are recommended when handling membrane filters to avoid contamination with skin oils.
Q: Why is removal of static charge benefiical when working with Track Etched Membranes?
The polyester track-etch (PETE) membrane filters and polycarbonate track-etch (PCTE) membrane filters are among the thinnest membrane filters that we offer. They are more susceptible to accumulating electrostatic charges which can make them difficult to manipulate and position. The static eliminators offered at https://www.sterlitech.com/static-eliminator.html can be used to mitigate handling problems associated with electrostatic repulsion and static cling.
