POREX TECHNOLOGIES GMBH - Making the world safer, healthier and more productive.

Stronger protection from contamination for pipetters and samples POREX® Pipette Cone Filters help prevent samples, and the pipette’s internal mechanisms and components, from fluid and liquid vapor contamination. Used at the pipette shaft base, these inert, hydrophobic filter tips are optimized for fit, function, resilience, and porosity. Backed by the Certified Pure Porex™ program, our filter tips: Protect pipetter’s internal components –Serves as a final interferent barrier. Prevent contamination–Protects against aerosols and sample cross-contamination. Prolongs product lifetime–Reduces chance for contamination which lowers the need for pipetter maintenance.

Higher performance and aerosol protection with customized solutions Protect serological pipettes and samples from contamination, fast draw uptake, and unintentional sample expulsion with a family of customizable aerosol barrier filters. Tailored to meet the correct fit, air flow, and volume placement within your pipettes, our serological filters protect lab personnel, maintain productivity and: Safeguard samples –Use aerosol barrier filters versus use of cotton or colored plugs. Improve quality and safety–Reduces fast draw sample uptake and stop samples from exiting the pipette. Minimize accidental exposure–Decreases exposure to hazardous substances and the need for internal syringe filters.

Greater protection from accidental overfilling and spillage Create a protective barrier from accidental overfilling of the pipette and blood spillage by using POREX® ESR Filters (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate). To help improve productivity and safety of lab personnel, these filters: Avoid accidental overfilling–Ensures and maintains the proper level of blood sample. Prevent leakages–Stops hazardous substances and blood from escaping through the top of the pipette. Provide control and safety–Reduces exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

Minimize false readings or premature degradation Gas-absorbing filters from Porex target specific gases that may cause a sensor to have a false reading or cause premature degradation of the cell itself. Specifically designed for your sensor devices, our gas-absorbing filters: Are effective at capturing a wide range of gases that can be harmful to your sensor, including H 2S, SO 2, HMDS, organics, alcohols and many others. Absorb larger amounts of the problem gas –Compared to competitive materials, POREX® filters absorb more problem gas per unit volume, lasting longer than competitive products. Contain safe materials–POREX filters are constructed with safe-to-use reagents, unlike competitive products with toxic lead-containing components.

Safely facilitate electrolyte chemical reactions Electrolyte reservoirs and wicks are needed to retain and deliver an electrochemical system’s electrolyte to facilitate the chemical reaction. POREX® fiber and foam media can be used for reservoirs, general wicking, and supporting of fluids within electronics and sensors. Engineered for optimal capacity and directional flow, our electrolyte reservoirs and wicks: Minimize inhalation and skin hazards–Made from safe-to-use PP or PE, our materials eliminate the need for glass wool, which can cause skin irritations and health issues when inhaled. Meet your application specifications–Product fluid retention, density and flow orientation can be tailored to meet your specific application needs.

Optimize your reflective media options Porex provides a portfolio of highly reflective components for optical sensors and other sensors that use or gather light. Our pure POREX® Virtek™ PTFE reflective components have industry-leading UV and visible light reflectivity. Available in rolls, sheets, die-cut parts, or custom 3-D shapes to meet your application needs, our reflective materials: Eliminate hot and dark spots–POREX® Virtek™ PTFE reflects light in all directions, causing the light to be spread evenly across a surface and eliminate hot spots. Increase efficiency – With more than 97% average reflectance over the entire light spectrum, our reflective materials capture wasted light and deliver directly to the lighting task. High temperature tolerance of up to 260°C

Enhance pre-filtration with longer life and durability POREX® carbon block pre-filters – also called seamless filters - offer advanced pre-filtration. Thick polyolefin walls allow for maximum flow and high efficiency, quickly removing sediment particulates from water. The seamless, unified design enables easy assembly while eliminating the risk of downstream contamination due to seam failure. With fully customizable dimensions, fiber sizes, pore sizes and densities, our carbon block pre-filters: Eliminate the need for a separate sediment filter - combines sediment and carbon block filtration in one step. Extend the life of carbon filters–Material quickly removes sediment particulates to extend product life. Eliminate challenges from seam failures–Durable one-piece construction of the material eliminates issues caused by seam failures.

Maximize filtration efficiency and structural integrity POREX® media support tubes, sleeves, outer wraps and cores improve the filtration and structural integrity of water filtration cartridges. Specifically designed for drinking water applications, our media support tubes: Extend primary filter lifespan–Removal of carbon fines, dirt, rust and sediment extends the primary filter lifespan, including carbon blocks and RO filtration. Maximize flow and filtration efficiency–Structural integrity of porous tubes maximizes efficiency while removing sediment. Enhance filtration – Ability to tightly pack media into tubes prevents poor filtration due to channeling.

Reliable performance in the most challenging environments Engineered for absolute fiber purity and consistency, POREX® melt blown filter cartridges provide optimized dirt-holding capacity, low-pressure drop, high filtration efficiency, and long lifespans. Entirely made of melt blown nylon microfibers, our melt blown filter cartridges are binder-free and thermally treated for reliable performance in the most challenging environments. Specifically designed for drinking water applications, our melt blown filter cartridges: Increase efficiency–Cartridges are engineered for optimal dirt-holding capacity and high filtration efficiency. Provide chemical and thermal resistance–Nylon structure provides exceptional chemical and thermal resistance. request sample ask an engineer
