Polyamide Membrane Filters

Polyamide membrane filtersare hydrophilic and chemical resistant to alkaline solutions and organic solvents. They are therefore recommended for particle removing filtration of water, aqueous solutions and solvents for analytical determination such as HPLC, as well as for the sterile filtration of these liquids. They are also highly recommended for the isolation of Legionella. Their highly high non-specific adsorption which can cause loss of imprtant substances e.g. from tissue culture solutions , limit their application. For these kind of solutions,the low adsorption membrane filters , CA and PES are preferred.
