LabExact SKU: LE-IWT-ES10101

LabExact Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 25 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10101

Syringe filters replace the separate holder and vacuum apparatus of bulk filtration with a single disposable unit, eliminating cleaning between samples. Microporous MCE delivers high flow for routine sample volumes while handling water-based and biological samples and holds a uniform pore distribution across the membrane surface. The polypropylene housing routes flow to minimize backpressure in service while resisting degradation from routine sample matrices and holds its seal true run after run. When method reproducibility rests on consistent sample prep, syringe filtration holds that standard injection after injection.

Membrane Characteristics

• MCE handles aqueous solutions and biological fluids across pH 4 to 8
• Mixed cellulose ester derives its inherent hydrophilicity from its cellulose polymer base
• Absolute retention rating repeats the same particle cutoff on every run
• Naturally wettable surface begins passing aqueous samples immediately on contact
• Cellulose ester composition supports aqueous compatibility across common laboratory buffers

Housing Characteristics

• Inert polyolefin wall contributes minimal sample adsorption to the filtrate
• Thermal-bonded construction keeps adhesives out of the fluid path
• Rigid polypropylene body maintains its geometry through routine filtration pressure
• Minimal intrinsic autofluorescence from the polypropylene housing supports background-sensitive fluorescence-based assay work downstream

Particulates in your buffers, reagents, and aqueous samples slow your preparation and throw off its consistency. General-purpose aqueous filtration supports the sample types you handle every day from reagent and buffer preparation through routine sample clarification.
