MCE Syringe Filter, 0.22um, 25mm, Double Luer-Lok, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18172

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18172

The SPEC18172 features naturally low protein-binding characteristics through its 0.22 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane that removes bacteria while preserving biomolecule recovery in sterile-grade filtration applications. This hydrophilic cellulosic structure provides effective bacterial removal without the protein adsorption issues common to synthetic membranes, making it essential for sterilizing cell culture media, biological buffers, protein solutions, and pharmaceutical formulations. Your laboratory gains operational efficiency from sterile-ready filters with double Luer-Lok connections that ensure secure attachment during critical sterilization workflows across biotechnology research, pharmaceutical manufacturing, microbiological testing, and analytical chemistry applications requiring reliable bacterial removal with minimal sample loss.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 0.22 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane delivers sterile-grade filtration with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
• 4.08 cm² filtration area provides efficient processing capacity for moderate sample volumes in sterilization applications
• 40.61 psi bubble point ensures membrane integrity while confirming effective bacterial retention during filtration operations
• Hydrophilic cellulosic structure enables immediate aqueous sample processing while minimizing protein adsorption for recovery
• Low extractables profile maintains solution purity during filtration of sensitive biological samples and pharmaceutical preparations

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 critical sterilization operations
• Each filter arrives gamma-sterilized and individually packaged to maintain contamination-free conditions until use
• Sterile-ready configuration eliminates preparation steps for immediate use in aseptic processing applications

Your sterilization workflows gain efficiency from sterile-ready filters that eliminate preparation time while the mixed cellulose ester composition naturally resists protein adsorption. The 4.08 cm² filtration area processes moderate sample volumes appropriately while the 0.22 µm pore size provides effective bacterial removal. Double Luer-Lok connections maintain secure attachment during critical sterilization operations while the hydrophilic membrane chemistry supports diverse aqueous applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and microbiological testing laboratories.
