In laboratory work, choosing the right filters and membranes is one of the key steps to ensure the accuracy of experimental results. Different types of membranes vary in chemical compatibility, so it is crucial to consult a chemical compatibility table before use. This not only saves time but also avoids experimental failures due to incompatibility.
C = Compatible
LC = Limited Compatibility
IC = Incompatible (Not Recommended)
ND = No Compatibility Data Available
