Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I dispose of the static eliminator?
In the USA, these devices are considered exempt by the NRC and technically can be thrown in the trash when expired, however we prefer that they be returned to us and properly disposed of. If a customer is throwing them in the regular trash, we ask that any radioactive wording or labelling be covered with black permanent marker to alleviate any unnecessary panic if the device is found. Thus the reason we, and the majority of our customers prefer to return them to us.
In Canada, they are not considered exempt by the CNSC, and therefore would have to be returned to us for proper disposal.
Please contact us for the Return Shipping Instructions.
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 beneficial 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.
