MCE Syringe Filter, 0.22 um, 20mm, Double Luer-Lok, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18182

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18182

Biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and microbiological laboratories require sterilization solutions that remove bacteria effectively while preserving valuable biomolecules during critical sample processing. The SPEC18182 meets these industry demands with a 0.22 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane that combines sterile-grade filtration with naturally low protein binding characteristics. Your operations benefit from this sterile-ready design approach where cellulosic chemistry prevents protein adsorption issues common to synthetic membranes, delivering reliable bacterial removal across cell culture media sterilization, biological buffer filtration, protein solution processing, HPLC mobile phase preparation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and microbiological testing applications requiring effective sterilization without compromising sample integrity.

Key Membrane Characteristics

• 0.22 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane delivers sterile-grade filtration with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
• 3.1 cm² filtration area in the 20mm diameter configuration provides efficient processing capacity for routine 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 acrylonitrile butadiene styrene 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

Quality assurance comes from the mixed cellulose ester composition that naturally resists protein adsorption during bacterial removal. The 3.1 cm² filtration area processes routine laboratory sample volumes appropriately while the 0.22 µm pore size provides effective bacterial retention. Double Luer-Lok connections maintain secure attachment during critical sterilization operations while the sterile-ready configuration eliminates preparation time, supporting diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and microbiological testing laboratories requiring reliable biomolecule-preserving sterilization.
