MCE Syringe Filter, 0.8um, 25mm, Double Luer-Lok, Nonsterile, 100 /Pk SKU: SPEC20196

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filter - SPEC20196

The SPEC20196 combines a 0.8 µm mixed cellulose ester membrane with 4.9 cm² filtration area and 8.7 psi bubble point, engineered for clarification of aqueous biological samples. This 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, biological buffer filtration before enzyme assays, protein solution processing preserving antibody concentrations, aqueous sample preparation for analytical measurements, pharmaceutical quality control with water-based formulations, and microbiological media clarification where particulate-free aqueous conditions are essential while maintaining solution integrity throughout processing workflows.

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 Lock connections maintain secure attachment during processing while autoclavable construction supports aqueous applications across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and microbiological testing laboratories requiring reliable particulate removal with biomolecule preservation.
