Silver metal membrane filters are used in a variety of filtration applications, and their ability to withstand extreme chemical and thermal stress makes them ideal laboratory filtration equipment for applications involving aggressive fluids and/or high temperatures.
Silver metal filter membranes are pure metallic silver (99.97% pure silver) and are available with particle retention ratings of 0.2 to 5.0 microns. These silver metal membrane disc filters and sheets are specified in a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standard for the analysis of crystalline and amorphous silica, lead sulfide, boron carbide, and chrysotile asbestos. Our silver metal membranes can be used as the collection media and subsequent x-ray diffraction substrate for quantifying unknown minerals and compounds.
Applications
Sterlitech™ Silver Membranes can be used for a wide variety of industrial hygiene, OSHA and laboratory applications.
Analytical
X-ray diffraction (XRD); silver metal membranes make excellent substrates for XRD analysis - silver purity 99.97% -- smooth surface, grayish-white color; highly reflective surface; absolute surface retention; low background noise; distinct diffraction peaks.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (EM); smooth; electrically conductive; extremely thin membrane 50 µm; easy sample preparation.
