Improve Analysis Accuracy with SEPAREL®

Degasification of Medical Equipment and Analytical Devices

Liquid degassing is a critical process in various industries, including medical equipment and analytical devices. Dissolved gases in liquid samples can negatively affect the results of medical tests, such as those used for monitoring blood sugar or cholesterol levels. To overcome this challenge, the implementation of degasification techniques becomes essential.

One such effective solution is SEPAREL hollow fiber membrane degassing. SEPAREL works by blocking liquid from passing through a hollow fiber membrane, while still allowing gas flow.

Using hollow fiber membranes offers significant benefits over other alternative degasification technologies, including:

  • A larger interfacial area
  • Flowing liquid facilitates gas diffusion
  • In-line degasification
  • Low installation costs
  • Can be combined with a nitrogen gas displacement system

The SEPAREL Advantage

analytical-analysis-in-microscope-at-a-labSEPAREL removes gases and bubbles from samples or reagents, leading to more precise test outcomes.

This makes it an ideal choice for medical lab equipment or analytical devices such as biochemical analyzers, where precise results are crucial for accurate diagnostics.

SEPAREL utilizes a DIC proprietary, non-porous membrane featuring a surface skin membrane for enhanced degasification which brings significant advantages.

 

 

Key Attributes and Benefits of SEPAREL

Applicable to Highly Permeable Liquids

DIC’s hollow fiber surface skin membrane consists of an inner porous layer and an outer non-porous layer called “skin layer.” This non-porous skin layer is also applicable with highly permeable liquid.

High Gas Permeability

DIC hollow fibers use Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) as a raw material. PMP’s molecular structure allows a high permeability rate. In combination with a thin skin surface layer (about 1 µm), this enables excellent degassing performance.

Large Surface Area

The smallest outer diameter of DIC hollow fiber SS membranes is about 180 µm. This is the smallest possible diameter for degasification membranes. This structure enables the largest possible membrane surface area within a small space.

Compatible and Versatile

SEPAREL Hollow Fiber Membrane degassing technology works with a wide variety of chemicals and comes in different sizes for specific applications. Our experts can help you choose the right membrane size for your application, ensuring the best performance.

Low Pressure Loss

DIC’s proprietary internal structure allows for compact membrane modules that exhibit low pressure loss.
