MCE Syringe Filter, 5.0um, 25mm, Double Luer Lock, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18176

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18176

The SPEC18176 features naturally low protein-binding characteristics through its 5.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane that removes coarse particulates while preserving biomolecule recovery in heavily contaminated samples. This hydrophilic cellulosic structure handles large suspended solids without the protein adsorption issues common to synthetic membranes, making it essential for protecting downstream filters and analytical instrumentation from premature fouling. Your sterile-ready operations benefit from this coarse prefiltration solution with double Luer Lock connections across environmental water testing, high-density fermentation monitoring, tissue extract processing, viscous biological fluid clarification, industrial sample preparation, and pharmaceutical quality control applications requiring reliable coarse particle removal with minimal sample loss.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 5.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane provides coarse prefiltration with naturally low protein binding for biological sample processing
• 4.08 cm² filtration area handles moderate sample volumes efficiently for routine coarse prefiltration operations
• 2.9 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
• 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

Your coarse prefiltration 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 5.0 µm pore size handles heavily particulate samples that would overwhelm finer membranes. Double Luer Lock connections maintain secure attachment during processing operations, supporting diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and environmental testing laboratories requiring reliable coarse particle removal.
