25mm Black PC Membrane 1.0 um

For epifluorescence microscopy Smooth flat surface- micro-organisms are retained in one plane on the surface Do not stain Essentially zero autofluorescence Recommended for: epifluorescence microscopy; water testing; observation of bacteria (0.2-5 µm), yeasts and molds (0.6, 0.8 µm) and spores (5 µm); direct count of micro-organisms pH range: 4-8 Standard polycarbonate membrane filters are treated by a proprietary irgalan black process to render them dark gray. This essentially eliminates the natural autofluorescence of the membrane. Except for a reduction of transparency, the membranes have the same characteristics as standard Poretics polycarbonate membrane filters. Ideally suited for fluorescence microscopy because: The surface of the membrane is flat and smooth, assuring that no micro-organisms are captured within the filter structure as with ordinary tortuous pore filters. They exhibit extremely low non-specific absorption The elimination of autofluorescence assures high visibility against a non-distracting background
