Key Features
Matrix Cellulose Nitrate Membrane Filters are widely used for conducting solid contamination tests on fluids. They serve as an integral component in oil patch testing and HPLC analysis for sample filtration, ensuring that even the smallest solid particles—capable of causing permanent damage in hydraulic applications—are effectively captured.
A membrane is a thin layer of semi-permeable material that separates substances when a driving force (typically a pressure differential) is applied across it. These filters are increasingly used to remove bacteria, microorganisms, particulates, and natural organic materials that may impart color or compromise the purity of fluids.
The base material for these membranes is a mixed cellulose ester composed of cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate. This composition guarantees effective contaminant retention while facilitating high flow rates and optimal microbial culture growth, which is particularly essential during HPLC sample analysis.
Matrix Cellulose Nitrate Membrane Filters are ideally suited for:
These filters are critical in industries where maintaining fluid purity is paramount and precise contamination analysis is required. By ensuring that even minute particles are effectively removed, they help in safeguarding machinery and improving the reliability of analytical results.
