Advantages of Choosing
Ultracel PLC Membranes
Void-free structure results in
excellent retention and
improved integrity
Typical Applications
Require maximum recovery from
dilute protein solutions
Use organic solvents or
antifoaming agents
Improved Integrity
The void-free structure of Ultracel PLC
membranes gives them virtually
undetectable downstream air flow
compared to conventional UF
membranes (Figure 1).

Flux (lmh)
Even when used with high concentrations of protein, Ultracel PLC maintains
its flux through multiple cleaning
cycles, demonstrating the low fouling
nature of the membrane (Figure 4).
