Porometer, a leading provider of pore size measurement solutions, officially introduces the new MEMCAST™ instrument. The look and feel of the new MEMCAST™ are quite similar to the previous version, but with some improvements both in look and feel as well as performance.
The MEMCAST™ is your ultimate solution for achieving precise and efficient synthesis of flat sheet polymeric membranes.
By automatically casting a thin film of a polymer solution, the MEMCAST™ streamlines the creation of membranes with different thicknesses, offering unparalleled control and reproducibility.
Unique to the MEMCAST™
