"extraction"

Syringe filters are available with a choice of membrane type: Polyethersulfone (PES) for low protein binding and faster flow rates; surfactant-free cellulose acetate (SFCA), with or without prefilter, for lowest protein binding; Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for chemical resistance; regenerated cellulose (RC) – the best choice for DMSO compatibility; and nylon (NY) which is hydrophilic, surfactant-free and lowest extractable.

Whatman mixed cellulose ester membranes are composed of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate. These membranes are characterized by a smoother and more uniform surface than pure nitrocellulose filters.
