LabExact Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Syringe Filters, 0.45 µm, 25 mm, 100/Pk - LE-IWT-ES10108

Sample preparation for chromatography often ends with a syringe filter on the path to the vial. Mixed cellulose ester suits aqueous solutions and biological fluids while accepting aqueous reagents without preconditioning and pushes sample volume through without slowing. Polypropylene housing is factory-sterilized and packaged to preserve that state until use while leaving no seam for sample to bypass the membrane and preserves sample chemistry across the flow path. For routine sample preparation across many methods, each analytical run starts with a consistent, particle-free sample without added hardware or a cleaning step.

Membrane Characteristics

• Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate blend yields stable, precisely formed pore geometry
• A brief solvent-vapor exposure collapses MCE's pore structure into an optically clear film
• Cellulose ester composition supports aqueous compatibility across common laboratory buffers
• Naturally wettable surface begins passing aqueous samples immediately on contact
• Mixed cellulose ester derives its inherent hydrophilicity from its cellulose polymer base

Housing Characteristics

• Rigid polypropylene body maintains its geometry through routine filtration pressure
• Polypropylene housing withstands rated backpressure from dense sample matrices without deformation
• Minimal intrinsic autofluorescence from the polypropylene housing supports background-sensitive fluorescence-based assay work downstream
• Minimal extractable release from the housing supports sensitive analytical work downstream

Particulates in your buffers, reagents, and aqueous samples slow your preparation and throw off its consistency. Consistent aqueous clarification clears particulates without slowing your bench routine across the buffers and reagents your day-to-day prep depends on. Standardize your filtration purchases across every method with volume pricing and documentation from the Tisch Scientific team.
