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 a 1.0 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane. It removes coarse particulates while preserving biomolecules in prefiltration applications. A hydrophilic cellulosic structure handles larger particles without the protein adsorption issues common to synthetic membranes. It effectively protects downstream filters from premature fouling while maintaining sample integrity. Your sterile-ready operations benefit from a coarse prefiltration solution with double Luer-Lok connections. Such design supports fermentation broth processing, tissue extract clarification, serum sample preparation, and other critical 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 compatible fluids 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 tasks to prevent leakage. The sterile-ready configuration facilitates immediate use, supporting diverse applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and clinical testing laboratories. You can depend on this reliable solution for biomolecule-preserving prefiltration.
