About SmartMembranes
SmartMembranes develops and manufactures high-precision macro- and nanoporous membrane structures made of silicon and aluminum oxide at its site in Halle (Saale). The membranes are characterized by a uniform pore structure and a narrow pore size distribution, which enables reproducible and reliable results, especially in filtration applications requiring high separation precision. Key product parameters such as pore size, porosity and membrane thickness are individually adapted to customer requirements. The product portfolio comprises laser-drilled silicon filters (LASEPOR, 20–300 µm), silicon membranes (MAKROPOR, 1–18 µm) and aluminum oxide membranes (SmartPor, 25–350 nm; FlexiPor, 20–200 nm). In addition, the company offers accessories and system solutions for filtration equipment as well as the integration of filters into analytical applications. Customer industries include research and development, industry, medical technology and environmental analysis, such as microplastic filtration.
