Filter Membranes

The membrane captures extracted contamination and becomes the measurement surface for gravimetry or particle analysis, so its material and pore size directly affect the result.

Key products

  • Mixed Esters of Cellulose
  • Nylon Net
  • Sefar Nitex

Technical considerations

  • MCE pore sizes from 0.22 to 8 µm
  • Nylon Net and Nitex options for larger particles
  • 25 mm and 47 mm formats where listed
  • Select against the test method and target particle size

How to Select Consumables

Start with the membrane and filtration method, then confirm particle retention, solvent compatibility and how the consumable will move through the laboratory.

Membrane Material

Choose MCE, Nylon Net, Nitex or another specified material based on the analysis method and the liquid being filtered.

Filtration Method

Vacuum or pressure filtration determines the holder, flask, vessel, hose and sealing accessories required.

Particle Size

The smallest particles that must be retained guide the membrane pore size or mesh selection.

Solvent Compatibility

Confirm that membranes, holders, seals, hoses and storage items tolerate the chosen extraction solvent.

Chemical Compatibility

Component materials and residues influence which cleaner can be used without damage or unwanted reaction.

Laboratory Workflow

Gravimetry and particle analysis need different handling, drying, storage and membrane-presentation practices.
