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
Hydrophilic PTFE	Low	Hydrophilic	High	Purification of HPLC organic and solvent/aqueous solutions
Hydrophobic PTFE	Low	Hydrophobic	High	Filtration of solvents
PES	Low	Hydrophilic	Low/Medium	Purification of tissue culture solutions, buffers
PVDF	Low	Hydrophilic	Medium	Filtration of protein solutions
NYL	Medium	Hydrophilic	Medium	Filtration of aqueous and solvent/aqueous mixtures
CA	Low	Hydrophilic	Low	Filtration of protein solutions
CN	High	Hydrophilic	Low	Filtration of aqueous solutions where protein binding is not a concern and microbioloigical applications.
RC	Low	Hydrophilic	Medium	Filtration of aqueous and organic solvents and protein recovery applications.
