LabExact Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10099

Individually packaged and pre-tested, a syringe filter needs no functional check before use the way a shared reusable holder does. The smooth MCE surface supports consistent, reproducible results while hydrating fully within moments of aqueous exposure and stays compatible with biological samples. Low-extractable polypropylene keeps sample purity intact through the filtration pass and stays inert across common laboratory solvents. Where analytical results depend on clean samples, the preparation step stays consistent from sample to sample through a pre-tested syringe filter.

Membrane Characteristics

• MCE handles aqueous solutions and biological fluids across pH 4 to 8
• Inherent hydrophilicity skips any alcohol pre-treatment step before use
• Protein binding reaches up to 160 micrograms per square centimeter of membrane
• Naturally wettable surface begins passing aqueous samples immediately on contact
• Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate blend yields stable, precisely formed pore geometry

Housing Characteristics

• Inert polyolefin wall contributes minimal sample adsorption to the filtrate
• Housing rated for reliable filtration under syringe-applied backpressure at its maximum operating pressure
• Withstands standard 121°C steam autoclave cycles without softening or structural distortion
• Stable across the full aqueous pH range in routine sample work

Juggling several filter types for one routine clarification eats up your bench time. Consistent aqueous clarification clears particulates without slowing your bench routine the same way every time you run it.
