MCE Syringe Filter, 1.0um, 20mm, Double Luer-Lok, Sterile, 100/Pk SKU: SPEC18184

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC18184

The SPEC18184 features naturally low protein-binding characteristics through its 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane that removes coarse particulates while preserving biomolecules in prefiltration applications. This hydrophilic cellulosic structure handles larger particles without the protein adsorption issues common to synthetic membranes, protecting downstream filters from premature fouling while maintaining sample integrity. Your sterile-ready operations benefit from this coarse prefiltration solution with double Luer-Lok connections across fermentation broth processing, tissue extract clarification, serum sample preparation, cell culture harvest, biological buffer prefiltration, and pharmaceutical quality control applications requiring reliable coarse particle removal with minimal sample loss.

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
• 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

Your prefiltration workflows gain efficiency from sterile-ready filters that eliminate preparation time while the mixed cellulose ester composition naturally resists protein adsorption. 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. Double Luer-Lok connections maintain secure attachment during processing, supporting diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical testing laboratories requiring reliable biomolecule-preserving prefiltration.
