PES and BA

Are you speaking in regards to syringe, bottle top or capsule filters?
That's a very good question Jet. I was speaking of a membrane in either a bottle top filter or glass filtration set up.. I didn't think about a capsule filter. If that's the case me and you both know now nylon works just fine. However Even when using a capsule filter like lets just say a whatman polycap 36as vs the 36tf witch is a PTFE membrane your final throughput will be a extra 3 to 5000ml. Would you agree?


Actually well I got your attention brother let me pick your brain. Which capsule filter brand do you think has the highest throughput between a whatman polycap 36AS and a Pall Acropak 200? Or would you stay away from the acropak considering its a PES membrane?

I gotta few other questions if you dont mind ill send you a PM?
 
Is a PES filter fine to use with a low amount (10ml) of a 0.9% BA solution??
Sounds like your just making bact water... PES should be ok. Now if you start adding solvents (like BB, EO, or Guaiacol), definitely get a better filter.

Distilled water w a little BA in it is gonna run thru the filter so fast it won't break down anyway.

Thank you. I have just decided to purchase quality hydrophilic PVDFs. Maybe some nylons every now and then. Might as well use the best.

If i did oils would I want to use hydrophobic or hydrophilic and pvdf or nylon fine ?
 
Amazon “brand” okay or do you recommend something like Whatson?
If you're going to be making BAC water it will work with a hydrophobic or hydrophilic membrane. Now if you're talking about filtering oil you should definitely use a hydrophobic PVDF or PTFE membrane. I'll put a link below for both PVDF and PTFE membranes.

The last one should be .22 not .45. Not great .45
