LabExact Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filters, 0.22 µm, 13 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10105

A sterilizing-grade syringe filter delivers point-of-use sterile filtration in a single-use format, without the housing and gasket maintenance a reusable stainless steel filter holder requires. MCE holds a uniform pore distribution across the membrane surface while accepting aqueous reagents without preconditioning and stays compatible with biological samples. The polypropylene housing resists aqueous acids, bases, and alcohols in routine use while shedding virtually no extractable material into the sample and maintains a low-dead-volume internal flow path. Where bacterial contamination must stay out of the sample, manufacturer-tested retention keeps the instrument and downstream assay protected without a housing to maintain or clean.

Membrane Characteristics

• Naturally wettable surface begins passing aqueous samples immediately on contact
• MCE handles aqueous solutions and biological fluids across pH 4 to 8
• Inherent hydrophilicity skips any alcohol pre-treatment step before use
• Smooth, optically uniform surface with uniform pore distribution
• Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate blend yields stable, precisely formed pore geometry

Housing Characteristics

• Minimal extractable release from the housing supports sensitive analytical work downstream
• Withstands standard 121°C steam autoclave cycles without softening or structural distortion
• Minimal intrinsic autofluorescence from the polypropylene housing supports background-sensitive fluorescence-based assay work downstream
• Resists stress cracking from aqueous salt and buffer solutions

A particulate-laden aqueous sample makes the rest of your preparation unpredictable. General-purpose aqueous filtration supports the sample types you handle every day across your water-analysis and general analytical workflows. Standardize your filtration purchases across every method with volume pricing and documentation from the Tisch Scientific team.

• Semiconductor Rinse Water QC - Measures microbial contamination levels in ultrapure rinse water streams for semiconductor process qualification.
• Atomic Absorption Prep - Dissolves readily in dilute nitric acid, allowing retained particulates to be digested for spectroscopic analysis.
• Fermentation Yeast Counting - Monitors yeast cell populations in brewery and winery process streams at each fermentation stage.
• Coliform Counting - Traps coliform bacteria and E. coli on a gridded surface for colony counts in drinking water and wastewater compliance testing.
• Cooling Water Treatment Control - Verifies biocide treatment effectiveness in recirculating cooling systems through routine microbial monitoring.
• Protein Binding Research - Exploits medium-to-high protein adsorption of mixed cellulose ester for immuno-dot assay and protein detection workflows.
