GVS 1213790 Magna™, Filtration Membrane, Nylon 47mm 0.8 µm

This nylon membrane is designed for general filtration of aqueous and organic solutions, sample preparation, and laboratory assays such as HPLC filtration, Northern/Southern transfers, and clarification prior to analysis. It’s also commonly used for sterilization or particulate removal from liquids.

The membrane is naturally hydrophilic, meaning it wets easily with aqueous solutions and does not require pre-wetting agents that can interfere with biological or chemical processes. Its internally supported polyester web provides strength and resistance to tearing or distortion during handling or automated filtration.

The 0.8 µm pore size indicates the approximate size of particles the membrane will retain during filtration. This makes it suitable for applications that require coarse particulate removal or clarification, rather than fine microbiological sterilization. It’s a balance between flow rate and particulate retention.

Because the membranes are not pre-sterilized, they should be kept in their original packaging and handled with clean tools or gloves to avoid contamination. Store them in a dry, dust-free environment at room temperature to maintain performance and prevent moisture absorption.

Yes — nylon membranes like these are chemically compatible with a wide range of aqueous and many organic solvents, making them versatile for filtration in HPLC sample prep and general laboratory workflows. However, they may not be ideal for extremely strong acids, bases, or incompatible solvent systems, so always check compatibility for your specific application.
