\n\tUse this chart as a reference when determining the compatibility of membrane media and filter units with commonly of membrane media and filter units with chemicals.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen using a filter unit or holder, consider the resistance properties of all materials, including filter media, which will come in contact with the solution.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBecuase of variations in temperature, concentration, time, pressure and other variables, you should test all media and holder components in order to establish exact parameters. \n<\/p>\n
