MCE Syringe Filter, Sterile, 0.22µm, 13mm, Hydrophilic Mixed Cellulose Ester, 100/Pk SKU: LE-IWT-ES10105

Featuring hydrophilic mixed cellulose ester membrane technology delivering exceptional sterile filtration performance for aqueous and polar biological samples. MCE membranes exhibit hydrophilic properties suitable for use with dilute acids, bases, as well as aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons while providing fast flow rates and high protein binding capacity. Gamma irradiation sterilization with controlled dosing and validated sterility confirmation ensures contamination-free processing for critical laboratory applications requiring validated aseptic filtration protocols.

Key MCE Membrane Characteristics

• Mixed cellulose ester construction composed of cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose delivers smoother, more uniform surface properties for consistent filtration performance
• Naturally low background metals content minimizes sample contamination during trace analysis applications
• Surfactant treatment ensures optimal wettability with water and aqueous solutions while maintaining rapid flow characteristics
• Low protein binding coefficients maximize recovery of biomolecules during sensitive biological sample processing
• 0.22µm absolute pore size provides reliable bacterial retention and particle clarification for sterile filtration protocols

Key Construction Characteristics

• Ultrasonically bonded polypropylene housing eliminates adhesives while providing secure Luer-Lock® and pressure fitting compatibility
• Individual blister packaging maintains sterility integrity until point-of-use while enabling easy handling and inventory management
• 13mm diameter optimizes filtration area for small volume samples while maintaining manageable back pressure during manual syringe operation
• Clearly inscribed barrel markings identify membrane type and specifications for reliable sample processing and laboratory documentation
• Concentric funnel-shaped barrel design increases volume capacity while decreasing back pressure for improved operator efficiency

LE-IWT-ES10105 filters deliver outstanding unit-to-unit and lot-to-lot reproducibility, accelerating your analytical workflows when processing tissue culture media, biological specimens, and sensitive pharmaceutical samples. Applications include clarification of environmental water samples and biological specimens, sterilization of water samples and buffer solutions, and preparation of chromatography samples. High porosity and exceptional filtration speed make these filters the ideal choice for biological sample solvents, transforming your laboratory processes with validated sterile filtration performance and maximum protein recovery capabilities for critical research and quality control applications.
