| NanoCeram® Filters |
NanoCeram® is a novel material developed by Argonide Corp. Orlando U.S.A. for the seperation of proteins and biological solutions. The technology is based upon 2 nanometer diameter, high aspect ratio, alumina strands which carry a high electropositive charge.
The unique filtration material retains 99.9999% protozoa such as Cryptosporidium (>5 logs), bacteria and viruses at flow rates more than 200 times greater than equivalent virus-rated filter membranes.
The filters are capable of viral retention with 6 or 7 log population and at flow velocities of 30 to 60cm/minute. DNA and RNA are also absorbed efficiently, to 200 microgram/cm2 and 600 microgram/cm2 respectively.
NanoCeram® has been shown to be highly effective in a wide variety of applications:
- Production of potable water
- Sterilisation of pharmaceuticals and medical sera
- Chromatography filtration of DNA/RNA and endotoxins
- Support matrix for bioengineering
- Collection of biowarfare agents
NanoCeram® filters are currently available in syringe filter and membrane format:
- 25mm Syringe Filter with Luer-Lock fittings (Pack of 25)
- 25mm Membrane format (Pack of 50)
- 90mm Membrane format (Pack of 50)
