Print PagePORAFIL CM membranes of cellulose mixed esters are ideal for gravimetric analysis. They are particularly suited for aqueous solutions. The hydrophilic membrane is thermally stable to 125 °C and can be autoclaved at 121 °C. This membrane is often used for contamination tests.
Guide to…Membrane Filter Properties
Identifying the filter material most suitable for your application based upon the nature of the liquid or gas you are filtering will ensure the best performance of your filter. Each membrane filter material has differing chemical and physical properties such as hydrophobicity, flow rate, extractables and protein retention making them suited to differing applications. Once you have selected the most compatible filter material, you will need to consider what pore size is most appropriate.
| Membrane Material | Protein binding | Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic | Chemical resistance | Applications |

Membranes enable a very convenient, fast and economical separation. Often they are also used as a neutral sample support for further analysis. Macherey Nagel's provides an extensive selection on membranes. Their chemical resistance can be seen below.
