Sterlitech -Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane
Sterlitech Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane is a hydrophilic membrane constructed from pure polyethersulfone polymer membrane. PES membrane filters are designed to remove particulates during general filtration. Their low protein and drug binding characteristics also make polyethersulfone (PES) membrane disc filters ideally suited for use in life science applications.
This strong, microporous film membrane is constructed from a high-temperature polyethersulfone polymer that is acid and base resistant. Its strength and durability are advantageous during usage that involves aggressive handling or automated equipment. Sterlitech PES membrane is naturally hydrophilic without added wetting agents and has low extractables. It is available with large pore sizes and high capillary flow rates suitable for lateral flow devices.
Due to its inherent uniform porosity and controlled pore size, Sterlitech PES membrane efficiently removes particulates from solutions during general filtration. Additionally, its low protein and drug binding characteristics maximize recovery of critical drugs used in I.V. therapy, chemotherapy and open-heart surgery.
