High-quality Polyamide 66 membranes are suitable for filtering aqueous solutions and most organic solvents. The membranes are suitable for use with a wide range of biological preparations. Nylon membranes are hydrophilic, removing the need for wetting agents that could be extracted when filtering aqueous solutions. The membranes are flexible, durable and tear-resistant, and can be autoclaved. CHM® MNY Nylon membrane filters are chemically resistant to most bases, making them particularly indicated for clarification and sterilization of alkaline solutions. These type of membranes is compatible with most aqueous samples and some organic solvents, being a good alternative for sterilization and clarification of the mobile phases for HPLC. These membranes have high non-specific adsorption, which makes them very useful in blotting techniques, mainly for transfers and immobilizations of nucleic acids. They are not recommended for sterilizing cellular solutions, for which application it is advisable to use the CHM® MCA cellulose acetate membranes.
