Description:
NanoCeram® Electropositive Filters - A major advance in laboratory separation and biotechnology. Capable of retaining >5 logs (99.999+ %) viral and bacteria particles.
NanoCeram® media consists of nano alumina (boehmite) fibers 2 nanometers in diameter (Figure 1) that are distributed onto a microglass fiber scaffolding and formed into a non-woven media.
The nano alumina is attached to the microglass rather than forming agglomerates that would clog the structure.
Cellulose and polymeric fibers are added to strengthen the media and increase its flexibility so that it can be pleated.
The active ingredient of NanoCeram® filters is an alumina fiber only 2 nm in diameter. The 0.7 mm thick filters are highly electropositive in water and attract and retain viral and bacterial microbes, endotoxins, DNA, RNA, electro-negatively charged proteins as well as sub-micron and nanosize organic and inorganic particles. Ultra-fine particles are collected within the filter rather than on its surface. This results in high capacity, less clogging, and with minimal pressure drop. NanoCeram® filters are capable of longer life, even in the presence of saline solutions. They function best between pH 5 and 9.
Electrokinetic adsorption is used for filtering particles from both air (“electrets”) and water. Most colloidal particles in water are negatively charged as a result of differences in electrical potential between the water and the particle phases. This charge is due to an unequal distribution of ions over the particle surface and the surrounding solution.
For use with potable water. Do not use without adequate disinfection before and after unit. |
