MCE Syringe Filter, Sterile, 0.45µm, 25mm, Hydrophilic, Luer Lock, 100/Pk SKU: LE-IWT-ES10108

Featuring hydrophilic mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane technology treated with surfactants to ensure good wettability, delivering exceptional protein recovery and bacterial retention for critical aqueous and polar media filtration applications. The 0.45 micron pore size and 25mm diameter configuration provides reliable particle retention while maintaining optimal flow rates for HPLC sample preparation, biological analysis, and microbiological testing protocols. Gamma radiation sterilization with controlled dosing and lot-verified sterility confirmation ensures contamination-free processing for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.

Key MCE Membrane Characteristics

Fast flow rates with high protein binding capacity and great thermal stability optimize processing efficiency for environmental and biological laboratories
Ultra-low ash content below 0.045% with non-cytotoxic wetting agent levels under 4% delivers validated analytical performance for gravimetric determinations
Hydrophilic surface chemistry maximizes protein recovery in filtrate, making it ideal when complete biomolecule retention is crucial
Mixed cellulose ester construction containing nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate polymers provides equivalent performance to standard nitrocellulose membranes
Absolute 0.45µm pore rating ensures consistent bacterial retention for microbiological applications and sterile filtration protocols

Key Construction Characteristics

Individual blister packaging with sterile gamma irradiation maintains product integrity during storage and handling
Luer-Lock® connection with pressure fitting compatibility accommodates standard syringe configurations and automated sampling systems
Ultrasonically bonded construction eliminates adhesive contamination while ensuring reliable seal integrity under pressure
Filter media type clearly inscribed on barrel provides immediate identification and reduces processing errors
Concentric funnel-shaped barrel design increases sample volume capacity while decreasing back pressure during filtration

LE-IWT-ES10108 filters achieve excellent unit-to-unit and lot-to-lot reproducibility, accelerating your analytical workflows while maintaining consistent results across extended testing campaigns. Outstanding chemical compatibility with aqueous solutions, alcohols, and polar solvents maximizes your application flexibility for gas chromatography sample preparation, oil analysis, and sensitive biological sample processing. When combined with glass microfiber prefilters, these sterile MCE filters deliver validated performance for tissue culture media preparation and critical biotechnology applications demanding both sterility assurance and maximum biomolecule recovery.
