MicroModule membrane contactors

MicroModule membrane contactors improve many processes by removing bubbles and dissolved gasses from water used in laboratories and analytical/biotechnology equipment, or by removing bubbles that can be mistaken and measured as particles in particle counters. They are designed for in-line degassing and debubbling in applications with small liquid flowrates, and are ideal for laboratory and analytical markets that require oxygen-free liquids for pushing test samples into measurement and analytical devices. Their design packs a tremendous amount of membrane area into a small device, and this large membrane area translates into more-efficient degassing. Two sizes are available. The smaller module measures 0.5-in. by 1-in. and is capable of processing fluids up to 30 mL/min. Depending on the membrane option chosen, the device can debubble water used in laboratories and analytical systems or take bubbles out of low-surface-tension fluids, such as ink-jet printing inks, oils or other coatings. The larger unit measures 0.75-in. by 1-in. and is best suited to debubble water at flow rates up to 200 mL/min.
