Microfiltration

The process of removing particles from a liquid by passing it through a porous membrane under pressure.

Microfiltration is a pressure-driven membrane-based separations process in which particles and dissolved macromolecules larger than 0.1 µm are rejected (collected). The process removes particles, primarily from liquids, by passing the liquid sample through a microporous membrane. MF usually refers to the removal of particles between 0.1 microns to 5 or 10 microns in size.

GE Healthcare hollow fiber MF membranes are continuous, sponge-like structures whose pore size is characterized by a bubble point test.
