Due to the lower filter thickness, the retention capacity of filtration mem- branes may be lower than that of filters with the same pore size but a higher filter thickness. This must be taken into account when selecting an appropriate filtration membrane. ■■■■■■■■ IC equipment: Inline Ultrafiltration 2 - push mode...
The table Service life of the filtration membrane contains samples that were filtered with the ultrafiltration cell and a filtration membrane 1 (6.2714.020) with a pore size of 0.2 µm and analyzed on a Metrohm ion chromatograph. The listed results were obtained with Inline Ultrafiltration (push mode). The results are to be seen as examples, not guidelines.
