I’m here with Johan Arango, I.W. Tremont, Technical Sales Representative, and I.W. Tremont has been a customer of Hollingsworth & Vose for 35 years. And Johan, please tell me, how does the lower back pressure of the Trupor membrane help your customers versus traditional cast membranes?
A typical lab tech will process tens, if not hundreds of samples per day. The lower back pressure avoids operator fatigue, and then the higher load and capacity of the Trupor membrane allows the same tech to process a greater sample volume.
Nice. So it sounds like that is a great opportunity for Trupor to help the analytical market space. How can true for media help our end users? Trupor’s flow rates are so high. We can filter as much or more than the competitive membranes because a much higher flow rate. So with the flux being higher, that translates into value, with faster batch sizes, faster separation processes, and even higher yields because of the reduced, protein binding.
Thanks, Mike.
What types of polymers does Trupor media come in and what pore sizes? The Trupor product family is really two pieces: nylon chemistry and the PES, polyethersulfone. And the pore size ranges from 0.2 micron up to 1.2 micron.
Thanks, Mike.
