MCE Syringe Filters, 0.45um, 25mm, Double Luer-Lok, PP Housing, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18168

Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) Syringe Filters - SPEC18168

The SPEC18168 features naturally low protein-binding characteristics through its 0.45 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane, which clarifies biological samples while preserving biomolecule recovery. This hydrophilic cellulosic structure removes particulates from aqueous solutions without the protein adsorption issues common to synthetic membranes, making it ideal for processing enzyme preparations, antibody solutions, and cell culture components. Your laboratory benefits from this 25mm configuration with double luer-lok connections that ensure secure attachment during clarification of protein solutions, biological buffers, pharmaceutical formulations, and analytical samples requiring particulate removal without compromising sample integrity.

Key Membrane Characteristics

0.45 µm mixed cellulose esters membrane provides clarification with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
4.08 cm² filtration area in the 25mm diameter delivers efficient processing capacity for moderate sample volumes
29 psi bubble point ensures membrane integrity, while the hydrophilic cellulosic structure enables immediate aqueous sample processing
Low extractables profile maintains solution purity during filtration of sensitive biological samples and pharmaceutical preparations
Aqueous compatibility supports water-based buffers, biological fluids, and neutral pH solutions across laboratory applications

Key Construction Characteristics

Durable polypropylene housing withstands operating pressures up to 72.5 psi with burst protection rated to 116 psi
Double luer-lok inlet and outlet connections provide secure, leak-free attachment during filtration operations
Autoclavable construction supports your in-house sterilization protocols when preparing filters for specific applications
Nonsterile configuration offers flexibility where you can sterilize filters before use or employ them for routine sample preparation

Your clarification workflows gain efficiency from the mixed cellulose esters composition that naturally resists protein adsorption, critical when processing valuable biological samples. The 4.08 cm² filtration area handles moderate sample volumes appropriately for routine laboratory processing operations. The double luer-lok connections maintain secure attachment throughout filtration while this nonsterile configuration provides flexibility for autoclavable preparation when required, supporting diverse aqueous applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and analytical testing laboratories.
