Wetting the filtration membrane
NOTICE
In the package containing the filtration membranes, you will find
sheets of different thicknesses and colors:
■ The firm white cardboard is a cover protecting the filtration
membranes. Do not insert the cover into the ultrafiltration cell.
■ The thin light-blue sheets are separation sheets placed between
2 filtration membranes. Do not insert the separation sheets into
the ultrafiltration cell.
■ The thin white sheets are the filtration membranes. Only insert
the filtration membranes into the ultrafiltration cell.
■ Using the tweezers, take a new filtration membrane out of the
package.
■ Place the filtration membrane in a petri dish filled with ultrapure
water and allow to hydrate for approx. 2 minutes.
