Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC20196
The SPEC20196 combines a 0.8 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane with a 4.9 cm² filtration area and 8.7 psi bubble point. It is engineered for the clarification of aqueous biological samples. A hydrophilic cellulosic membrane removes particulates while maintaining naturally low protein binding characteristics that preserve biomolecule recovery during processing. Your laboratory operations span cell culture media clarification where nutrient solutions require particulate removal. The filter also supports biological buffer filtration, protein solution processing, and aqueous sample preparation for analytical measurements.
Key Membrane Characteristics
- 0.8 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane provides clarification with naturally low protein binding for biomolecule preservation
- 4.9 cm² filtration area handles moderate sample volumes efficiently for routine clarification operations
- 8.7 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
- 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 clarification operations. The 4.9 cm² filtration area processes moderate sample volumes appropriately, while the 0.8 µm pore size removes particulates without compromising biomolecule recovery. Double Luer-Lok connections maintain secure attachment during processing tasks. Furthermore, the autoclavable construction supports aqueous applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and microbiological testing laboratories. You can rely on this robust design to provide reliable particulate removal with biomolecule preservation for all your critical aqueous workflows.
