High power of filtration High porosity and flux High mechanical strength Ability be produced both in hydrophilic and hydrophobic modes Manufacture of membranes with diverse kinds of polymers Much lower price and longer lifetime comparing to commercial models Electro-spinning nano-fibers usually yield non-woven fabric, in which the pore size formed in the non-woven fabric becomes fine due to high fine nano-fibers build-up and hence, the filtration power increases. Not like membranes used for microfiltration, nano-fiber membranes are produced from nest channels with different sizes, which changing direction alongside membrane thickness splitting the main body into more channels. This phenomenon enhances the trapping rate of unwanted materials together with increasing fluid flow rate by having higher porosities than that of conventional membranes.

Syringe filters are used to disinfect (especially microbe) a variety of low-volume fluids, typically by attaching them to a syringe. The syringe filter consists of two key parts. The first is a polymer membrane syringe filter with porosity, size, specific pores and a absorbent module that can be linked to the syringe or any other system having identical path to the syringe terminal. The second part is a robust polymer syringe filter which defends the membrane in a good manner. The solution inside the syringe gets free of bacteria and other undesirable particles after passing through the syringe filter path.

If the contamination or microbial load of the fluid is high, blockage of the pores happens through filtration and operation is hence stopped. Moreover, it has been observed that most of these filters screen a definite and regularly low volume of fluid and turn out to be somehow inoperative due to the low porosity of conventional membranes. In addition, most conventional membranes fail due to low load-bearing capability while exposing to high pressure. So, Iranian Nano Polymer Membrane Company has improved the efficiency of this product by using nanotechnology in this product.
