LabExact Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 25 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10100

A sterilizing-grade syringe filter carries manufacturer bacterial retention testing built into the design, giving analysts documented sterile-grade performance without repeating that testing in-house for the format. Mixed cellulose ester suits aqueous solutions and biological fluids while accepting aqueous reagents without preconditioning and performs sterilizing-grade duty at the smallest available rating. The polypropylene housing holds its seal true run after run while sustaining efficient flow on viscous samples and delivers a chemically clean filtrate to the downstream step. When sample preparation calls for a sterile filtrate at the point of injection, sterilizing-grade absolute retention delivers it directly, protecting the analytical method from microbial interference.

Membrane Characteristics

• Fine pore ratings below one micron support validated bacterial retention
• Inherent hydrophilicity skips any alcohol pre-treatment step before use
• Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate blend yields stable, precisely formed pore geometry
• MCE's cellulose-ester composition provides a biologically nontoxic filtration surface
• Naturally wettable surface begins passing aqueous samples immediately on contact

Housing Characteristics

• Rated operating pressure supports filtration of high-resistance and viscous samples without housing distortion
• Minimal extractable release from the housing supports sensitive analytical work downstream
• Resists stress cracking from aqueous salt and buffer solutions
• Withstands standard 121°C steam autoclave cycles without softening or structural distortion

Unfiltered particulates shift your retention times and peak shapes from run to run. Upstream sample clarification keeps your separations clean and reproducible from sample preparation through final injection.
