Main applications
1
Hold-up volume after air purge. For minimum hold-up please see "Note|Hinweis|Remarques|Nota|Note 1"
2
Hydrophilic membranes can filter dry air or gas but become impermeable to air or gas when wetted!
3
Hydrophobic membranes cannot be wetted with aqueous solutions unless you overcome their water
penetration point or pre-wet them using an organic solvent (e.g. ethanol)
4
PES is suitable for solutions only containing up to 30% MeOH
5
According to bacterial challenge test (BCT) with 10
