LabExact Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10098

At the sub-micron pore rating, a syringe filter delivers sterilizing-grade retention at the point of use. Mixed cellulose ester suits aqueous solutions and biological fluids while holding a uniform pore distribution across the membrane surface and needs no pre-wetting step before aqueous samples flow through. The PP housing sustains efficient flow on viscous samples while holding its seal true run after run and delivers a chemically clean filtrate to the downstream step. For workflows requiring validated sterile-grade performance, point-of-use retention meets it without a separate sterilization step.

Membrane Characteristics

• Mixed cellulose ester derives its inherent hydrophilicity from its cellulose polymer base
• Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate blend yields stable, precisely formed pore geometry
• Naturally wettable surface begins passing aqueous samples immediately on contact
• Absolute retention rating repeats the same particle cutoff on every run
• Inherent hydrophilicity skips any alcohol pre-treatment step before use

Housing Characteristics

• Thermal-bonded construction keeps adhesives out of the fluid path
• Standardized luer connection geometry provides secure engagement with standard syringe tips
• Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
• Polypropylene density near 0.90 g/cm3 keeps housing weight low relative to denser engineering plastics

Unfiltered particulates shift your retention times and peak shapes from run to run. Pre-injection filtration protects the resolution your methods depend on across your chromatography methods.

• Hospital Infection Control - Filters clinical water samples for opportunistic pathogen surveillance and nosocomial outbreak investigation.
• Atomic Absorption Prep - Dissolves readily in dilute nitric acid, allowing retained particulates to be digested for spectroscopic analysis.
• Pharmaceutical Batch Release - Verifies bioburden specifications for aqueous pharmaceutical products ahead of final batch certification.
• Drinking Water Compliance - Concentrates total coliforms and E. coli from potable water volumes for regulatory enumeration by membrane filtration.
• Atmospheric PM2.5 Collection - Collects fine airborne particulate matter from air samples for gravimetric mass and chemical composition analysis.
• Groundwater Pathogen Monitoring - Concentrates low-level enteric pathogens from large groundwater volumes for public health surveys.
