Description

General description

The Isopore^™ membrane is a polycarbonate that allows sample visualization on membrane surface using optical or electron microscopy. Due to precise pore diameter and consistent pore size, it allows size-based sample separation with accuracy. It may be useful in chemotaxis assay, air monitoring, and epifluorescent microscopy.

Application

Isopore^™ membrane filter has been used to:

• filter microplastics associated with microbes from seawater samples
• wrap and encapsulate tumor for implantation in mice to mimic anti-angiogenic (AA) therapy
• filter out phytoplankton and large-sized particles
• hold mammalian cell lines for ultraviolet (UV) irradiation studies

Packaging

100 filters

Features and Benefits

• Isopore^™ membranes have low background interference.
• Particle retention on the membrane surface favorable for counting and analysis.
• Non-hygroscopic and translucent material.
• Rapid sample drying and analysis time.
• Also available in a brown variety.

Caution

Possible reduction in flow rates may occur after autoclaving.
