Description

General description

Filter Code: LCWG

Mitex^™ PTFE Membrane is unaffected by almost all liquids, including organic solvents, concentrated acids and bases, propellants, and cryogenic fluids. Mitex^™ membrane is unbacked, yet is easy to handle, combining the convenience of a backed membrane with the versatility of a pure PTFE membrane. Mitex^™ membrane is hydrophobic.

Application

• Clarifying acids, bases and cryogenic fluids
• Clarifying propellants
• Isolating RNA
• Air monitoring

Mitex^™ Membrane Filter has been used in the ammonium diffusion method to measure the 15N atom percentage excess of NH₄⁺ and NO₃ in soil extracts. It has also been used in horizontal infiltration experiments using unsaturated sand columns.

Features and Benefits

• Broad chemical compatibility
• Biologically and chemically inert
• Stable at temperatures in excess of 260 ºC (500 °F) and below -100 ºC (-148 ºF)*
