cellulose nitrate membrane filter
Cellulose nitrate membrane filters represent a crucial advancement in filtration technology, offering exceptional performance in various laboratory and industrial applications. These filters are manufactured through a precise process of treating cellulose with nitric acid, resulting in a highly effective filtration medium with consistent pore sizes ranging from 0.1 to 8.0 micrometers. The unique structure of cellulose nitrate membranes features high protein binding capacity and excellent particle retention capabilities, making them ideal for both analytical and preparative applications. The filters exhibit remarkable chemical compatibility with most aqueous solutions and organic solvents, ensuring versatility across different testing environments. Their distinctive white surface provides excellent contrast for colony counting and particle analysis, while their controlled pore size distribution ensures reliable and reproducible results. These membrane filters demonstrate exceptional flow rates and throughput capabilities, particularly beneficial in microbiological analysis, water testing, and protein binding applications. The hydrophilic nature of cellulose nitrate membranes enables immediate flow initiation without the need for pre-wetting, streamlining the filtration process. Their robust construction maintains structural integrity throughout the filtration process, even under challenging conditions, while their high porosity ensures optimal flow rates and minimal clogging.
