MCE Syringe Filter, 1.0um, 20mm, Threaded Double Luer Lock, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18179

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18179

The SPEC18179 combines a 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane with 3.1 cm² filtration area and 7.25 psi bubble point, engineered for coarse prefiltration of biological samples requiring biomolecule preservation. This hydrophilic cellulosic membrane removes larger particulates while maintaining naturally low protein binding characteristics that prevent sample loss during processing. Your laboratory operations span fermentation broth prefiltration where cells and debris require removal, tissue homogenate processing containing coarse cellular material, serum sample preparation demanding protein recovery, viscous biological fluid clarification, cell culture harvest preserving secreted proteins, and pharmaceutical quality control applications where protecting downstream membranes from fouling extends operational life while maintaining sample integrity throughout analytical workflows.

Key Membrane Characteristics

1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane provides coarse prefiltration with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
3.1 cm² filtration area in the 20mm diameter configuration handles routine laboratory sample volumes efficiently
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
Broad chemical compatibility supports aqueous buffers, alcohols, and mild organic solvents across diverse laboratory applications

Key Construction Characteristics

Durable acrylonitrile butadiene styrene housing withstands operating pressures up to 72.5 psi with burst protection rated to 116 psi
Threaded 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

Quality assurance comes from the mixed cellulose ester composition that naturally resists protein adsorption during coarse prefiltration operations. The 3.1 cm² filtration area processes routine laboratory sample volumes appropriately while the 1.0 µm pore size removes particles that would compromise downstream membranes. Threaded double Luer Lock connections maintain secure attachment during processing while autoclavable construction and hydrophilic membrane chemistry support diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical testing laboratories requiring reliable biomolecule-preserving prefiltration.
