Whatman Anopore® Inorganic Membranes
Manufacturer: Cytiva
The Anopore® Anodisc inorganic membrane is ideal for a wide range of laboratory filtration applications. This unique material has a precise, non-deformable honeycomb pore structure with no lateral crossovers between individual pores. Filters at precisely the stated cutoff, allowing no larger sized particles to pass through the membrane. The Anopore® inorganic membrane is composed of a high purity alumina matrix that is manufactured electrochemically. The membrane also exhibits low protein binding, has minimal autofluorescence, is non-toxic and supports cellular growth. Micro-organisms and particulate material are captured on the surface of the membrane for subsequent analysis by light or electron microscopy. When wet, the membrane is virtually transparent. Retained particles do not need to be transferred to another surface before microscopic examination. The membrane is hydrophilic and is compatible with most solvents and aqueous material. No monomers, plasticizers, adhesives, surfactants or wetting agents are used in the manufacturing process, which eliminates sample contamination and ensures low protein binding and minimal loss of sample.
