Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18169

Laboratories processing protein solutions and biological samples often face the challenge of protein adsorption to synthetic membranes, reducing recovery rates and compromising analytical accuracy. The SPEC18169 addresses this issue with a 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane that provides coarse prefiltration while maintaining the naturally low protein binding characteristics essential for biomolecule preservation. Your workflows benefit from cellulosic chemistry that removes larger particulates without the protein loss common to other membrane materials, while double luer lock connections ensure secure attachment during processing of fermentation broths, tissue homogenates, serum samples, and viscous biological fluids requiring initial clarification before downstream analysis.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane delivers coarse prefiltration with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
• 4.08 cm² filtration area processes moderate sample volumes efficiently for routine laboratory prefiltration operations
• 7.25 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 lock 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 prefiltration operations gain reliability from the mixed cellulose ester composition that naturally resists protein adsorption, critical when processing valuable biological samples. The 4.08 cm² filtration area handles moderate sample volumes appropriately while the 1.0 µm pore size removes coarse particles that would clog finer downstream membranes. Double luer lock connections maintain secure attachment throughout processing while autoclavable construction and hydrophilic membrane chemistry support diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical testing laboratories.
