Product Description
The Whatman ANOD Membrane Filter | 6809-7003 is a premium-quality Anopore® inorganic alumina membrane filter (Anodisc) engineered for ultra-precise laboratory filtration and microscopic analysis. Featuring a 0.02 µm pore size and 13 mm diameter, this hydrophilic membrane provides exceptional particle retention, a highly uniform honeycomb pore structure, and excellent sample recovery. Manufactured from high-purity anodic aluminum oxide, the membrane is free from binders, surfactants, plasticizers, and adhesives, minimizing contamination and ensuring reliable analytical results.
The Anodisc membrane is widely used in microbiology, nanotechnology, environmental testing, pharmaceutical research, and analytical laboratories. Its precisely controlled pore structure captures microorganisms and nanoparticles directly on the membrane surface, making it ideal for light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When wet, the membrane becomes virtually transparent, allowing direct microscopic observation without transferring the sample.
Whatman ANOD Membrane Filter 6809-7003 is hydrophilic, compatible with aqueous solutions and most laboratory solvents, and exhibits extremely low protein binding to minimize sample loss. The unsupported 13 mm membrane is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile in packs of 100, making it suitable for HPLC mobile phase filtration, solvent purification, liposome extrusion, gravimetric analysis, and high-precision laboratory filtration.

FAQs
What is the difference between 0.1um and 0.2um Whatman ANOD filters?
The 0.1um filter captures smaller particles, including most bacteria, while the 0.2um filter is commonly used for sterile filtration of liquids and gases.
Can I autoclave Whatman ANOD Membrane Filters?
Yes, these filters can be autoclaved at 121°C for 15 minutes without affecting performance.
Are these filters suitable for protein filtration?
Yes, the low protein-binding properties make them ideal for biological sample preparation.
How do I store unused Whatman ANOD filters?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in their original packaging to prevent contamination.
