Membrane Filters


DHI LAB Products is a supplier of GVS filters (former Poretics)

Cheap prices on filters, please see our pricelist

  • Polycarbonate filters, especially suitable for e.g., capturing cells above the pore size of the filter, size fractionation of water samples, or identification and counting of cells by microscopy
  • Black polycarbonate filters, especially suitable for e.g., epifluorescence microscopy
  • Teflon PTFE syringe filters, especially suitable for filtration of organic samples for HPLC, gas, 
    strong acids and aggressive solutions

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

GVS, former Poretics, Polycarbonate Membrane Filters (PCTE)

  • Smooth thin glass-like surface with cylindrical pores capturing 100% of cells larger than pore size 
  • Hydrophilic
  • Ideal for particle identification by microscopy
  • Precise pore sizes and pore distribution for absolute filtration and separation
  • Negligible absorption and adsorption

GVS, former Poretics, Black Polycarbonate Membrane Filters (PCTE)

  • Zero auto fluorescence, ideal for epifluorescence microscopy
  • Hydrophilic
  • Permit phytoplankton, bacteria, yeasts, etc to be visible
  • Smooth surface plane for microscopy

The epifluorescence microscopy technique is used for the assay of microorganisms in water samples, food and dairy products, wines and beverages, and for general micro-biological laboratory, medical, and research purposes.

The basic procedure is simple and reproducible:

  1. A known quantity of liquid is filtered through a black polycarbonate membrane
  2. The microorganisms, e.g., bacteria, can be stained, while some organisms like algae show auto fluorescence
  3. The fluorescing microorganisms are observed using an epifluorescence microscope
