Polyamide Membranes

Whatman polyamide membranes are made from pure polyamide making them the universal filter for clarification and sterile filtration.

Polyamide membrane filters are mechanically very strong and exhibit excellent wet strength and dry strength
They are hydrophilic making them suitable for aqueous and organic solutions
The membrane filters can be used up to 135ºC

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.
