Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18174

Biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories require prefiltration solutions that protect downstream membranes from fouling while preserving valuable biomolecules during sample processing. The SPEC18174 meets these industry demands with a 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane that combines coarse particle removal with naturally low protein binding characteristics. Your operations benefit from this sterile-ready design approach that removes larger particulates before final filtration while maintaining protein recovery, delivering reliable prefiltration across fermentation monitoring, tissue extract processing, serum sample preparation, cell culture harvest, biological buffer clarification, and pharmaceutical quality control applications where protecting both downstream filters and sample integrity matters.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane provides coarse prefiltration with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
• 4.08 cm² filtration area handles moderate sample volumes efficiently for routine 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-Lok inlet and outlet connections provide secure, leak-free attachment during filtration 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 biological sample processing applications

Quality assurance comes from the mixed cellulose ester composition that naturally resists protein adsorption during coarse prefiltration operations. The 4.08 cm² filtration area processes moderate sample volumes appropriately while the 1.0 µm pore size removes particles that would compromise downstream membranes. Double Luer-Lok connections maintain secure attachment during processing while the sterile-ready configuration eliminates preparation time, supporting diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical testing laboratories requiring reliable biomolecule-preserving prefiltration.
