Product Description

GE CA (Cellulose Acetate) membrane is a supported, hydrophilic membrane that is naturally low binding. It is ideal for use in enzyme loading and latex bead entrapment assay formats or as a pre-filter.

Exceptional Strength and Binding for Improved Performance

Produced through a proprietary manufacturing process, GE CA membrane meets rigorous quality standards throughout every step of production. This process generates consistent lot-to-lot binding among the membranes and ensures product uniformity.

GE CA membrane filters are composed of pure cellulose acetate that is internally supported by an inert polyester web. This web gives each filter exceptional strength to prevent cracking, tearing, breaking and distortion when handled or creased. The resulting membrane has dimensional stability that can withstand autoclaving or steam sterilizing leaving the membrane unaffected in temperatures up to 135° C (274° F).

The exceptional dimensional strength and low binding characteristics of GE CA provide higher throughputs than competitive offerings and reduce the amount of filter changes needed during proteinaceous solution filtering. Its uniform pore size and consistent flow rates ensure reliable performance for use in enzyme loading and latex bead entrapment assay formats or as a pre-filter.

Flexibility for OEM Requirements

GE CA membrane is available in rolls up to 33 cm (13 inches) wide, as well as sheets and cut discs that can be customized to meet your application and size requirements. GE CA membranes are manufactured on-site in GE Osmonics facilities making customization easy and cost-effective.
