Filtration Membrane Discs
Thin, precut membrane rounds for high-throughput, fast filtration of liquid and gas samples. Gridded and non-gridded discs. Various materials including mixed cellulose ester, polycarbonate, PTFE, nylon, and PVDF. For air monitoring/analytical research.
Sizes
Filter membranes are made in a range of diameters, typically designed to fit a specific holder or manifold.
Materials
Filter membrane can be made from cellulose, mixed cellulose esters (MCE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethersulfone (PES), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), nylon, polycarbonate (PC), polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP). Other membrane materials include aluminum oxide, gelatin, porcelain, and glass.
Pore Size
The size of membrane pores determines which particles will be retained by the filter. A pore size of 0.2 µm is small enough to remove microbes from solutions; a 0.45 µm ore size can remove larger particulates.
Color and Grids
White membrane filters may be plain or marked with square grids (outlined in black) that can help with enumerating particles. Gridded or plain black membrane filters may be helpful when filtering light-colored particulates.
Sterility
Filter membranes may be pre-sterilized or may be sterilized using ethylene oxide, gamma irradiation, or autoclaves. The need for sterility is determined by the application, which are many and varied:
- Light microscopy samples
- Cytology sample preparation
- Electron microscopy samples
- Air quality and other environmental monitoring
- Water analysis and water quality testing
- Microbiology colony counting and quality control
- Chemotaxis
- Sterile preparation of buffers, tissue culture media, microbiological media, and other biological fluids
Cole-Parmer Advantec A020G047A Sterile MCE Filters, 0.20um, 47mm Dia; 100/Pk
Mixed cellulose ester membranes are suitable for microbiological analysis of water, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, or beverages. Offered with or without grid lines; grid lines facilitate counting colonies on the membrane surface. Grid squares measure 3.1 mm and represent 1/100 of the area of a 47-mm membrane. Black membranes maximize contrast between colonies and the filter; green membrane enables viewing of black, white, and colorless colonies on a single filter. Presterilized by EtO, these 47-mm diameter filters are available in envelopes of 10, individually packaged, or now individually wrapped continuous feed. Order membranes with absorbent pad for use with broth media.

Cole-Parmer PTFE Membrane, 25 mm, 0.45 m, 100/pk
Durable laminated PTFE membranes are unaffected by even the most corrosive compounds, including concentrated acids, alkaline, and propellants. Membranes withstand temperatures from –100 to 130C (–148 to 266F). Use these hydrophobic membranes for sterile venting and filtration of gas, air steams, and organic solvents. Prewet with acetone or methanol for aqueous solutions.
