MCE Filter, ME Range (ME 24), Plain, 0.2um Pore Size, 50mm Circle, 100PK SKU: 10401714

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters - 10401714

Precision-manufactured Hydrophilic membrane with a verified 0.2 pore structure delivers consistent retention performance across demanding laboratory filtration workflows. Reproducible separation characteristics define the membrane structure, protecting downstream instruments and preserving sample integrity throughout the filtration process. In effect, each membrane disc reflects a manufacturing standard where retention characteristics, physical integrity, and dimensional accuracy are verified before release.

Material Specifications

• Hydrophilic by nature, the MCE membrane structure supports high non-specific adsorption for effective organism capture.
• Known for excellent wetting properties and high flow rates in aqueous filtration.
• Feature a uniform pore structure that provides consistent flow rates and high throughputs across the full range of standard pore size ratings.
• Low tare weight and complete solubility in organic solvents make MCE the standard membrane for gravimetric particulate analysis where method specifications demand minimal blank correction.
• Non-sterile configuration is suited for analytical sample preparation, mobile phase filtration, and other workflows where pre-sterilization is not required.

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. Here, MCE's naturally hydrophilic surface allows immediate wetting upon contact with aqueous samples, eliminating the pre-conditioning step and letting you begin filtration as soon as the membrane is seated in your holder. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
