MCE Gridded Membrane Filter, 0.45µm, 47mm, Sterile, Water/Air Analysis, 600/Cs SKU: LE-045SG-047-B

Featuring hydrophilic mixed cellulose ester membrane technology delivering superior microbiological analysis performance for potable water, wastewater, and air monitoring applications. A precise 0.45µm pore configuration captures bacteria and microorganisms while maintaining optimal flow characteristics and structural integrity during filtration processes. Advanced gridded design with calibrated reference lines accelerates colony counting and ensures accurate enumeration during microbiological examination protocols.

• Mixed cellulose ester construction combines cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate for smoother, more uniform surface than traditional nitrocellulose membranes
• Hydrophilic surface chemistry ensures consistent wetting and optimal bacteria retention across the entire filter area
• 0.45µm pore size efficiently retains microorganisms while permitting rapid sample processing and reduced filtration times
• Enhanced durability eliminates cracking and fracturing during handling, maintaining membrane integrity throughout analysis procedures
• Pure surface treatment eliminates additional smoothing agents or surfactants that could interfere with microbiological growth

• Integrated grid pattern provides precise reference lines for accurate colony counting and statistical analysis of bacterial populations
• 47mm diameter accommodates standard membrane filtration equipment and microbiological analysis protocols
• Sterile construction eliminates contamination risk and ensures reliable results for critical water quality testing applications
• Biologically inert composition prevents interference with bacterial growth while supporting diverse microorganism cultivation
• Quality-controlled manufacturing meets stringent specifications for membrane filter technique referenced in Standard Methods¹
