InRedox Anodic Aluminum Oxide Isotropic membrane filters, 40nm pore, 13mm dia, pk20
Isotropic Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) have uniform pore structure across the entire thickness and on both faces of the membrane, making them ideal for transport studies in nanochannels.
Isotropic AAO have a range of standard pore diameters from 10 to 200 nm. The pores are essentially monodisperse with a pore diameter distribution that is typically less than 10% (full width, half max).
The membrane filters are far less brittle than similar ceramic membrane filter products ensuring easier handling, usage and less loss of product or samples during preparation.
Membrane Features
• Precise and reproducible pore geometries
• Pore size from 2 nm to 200 nm
• Narrow pore size distribution, sharp molecular weight cutoff
• Uniform Isotropic pore structure
• Smooth flat surface, low fouling, straight pores
• Optically transparent when wet, low autofluorescence
• Surface terminated with -OH-groups for binding protocols
• Naturally hydrophilic, no extractables or leachables
• Excellent bath-to-batch consistency
