ME26 0.6um 47mm 100/Pk SKU: 10401512

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters - 10401512

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.6 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.6 pore structure delivers consistent retention across the full operating range. As designed, from raw polymer through final inspection, the manufacturing process is designed to ensure that every membrane disc meets the performance specifications of its grade designation.

Material Specifications

• Bulk format reduces per-unit packaging waste and cost, appropriate for routine particulate removal and clarification where aseptic handling is not specified.
• Feature a uniform pore structure that provides consistent flow rates and high throughputs across the full range of standard pore size ratings.
• Hydrophilic by nature, the MCE membrane structure supports high non-specific adsorption for effective organism capture.
• Mixed Cellulose Ester membranes combine cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate polymers to deliver a smoother, more flexible membrane surface than pure cellulose nitrate.
• The biologically inert blend of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate provides a membrane surface optimized for organism capture and colony enumeration in microbiological assays.

Transitioning from qualitative screening to quantitative gravimetric analysis requires a membrane with documented tare weight consistency, and the manufacturing tolerances above ensure that your blank values remain within acceptable limits. Low background interference from mixed cellulose ester membranes means your gravimetric measurements reflect the mass of captured particles, not membrane extractables — reducing the blank corrections that add uncertainty to your weight-based analyses. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.

Hydrophilic

• Gravimetric Analysis - Maintains structural integrity during filtration and drying, providing precise weight measurements of retained particulates.
• Black Grid Analysis - Black membrane variants enhance contrast for light-colored colonies, reducing eye strain during manual plate counting.
• Bioburden Monitoring - Routine testing of pharmaceutical water loops to ensure bioburden levels remain within safe production specifications.
• Biochemical Assays - High electrostatic properties effectively bind proteins and macromolecules, supporting various diagnostic and research assays.
• Microscopy mounting - Can be made transparent with immersion oil, allowing for direct light microscopy of retained particles on the surface.
• Aqueous Filtration - Biologically inert composition provides high flow rates and consistent reliability for routine laboratory fluid processing.
