MCE Membrane Filter, Hydrophilic, Nonsterile - 0.22µm, 25mm - 100/pk SKU: LE-IWT-MCE020025

Featuring mixed cellulose ester (MCE) technology composed of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate delivering superior flow rates for critical microbiological and analytical filtration applications. High recovery and exceptional flow characteristics combined with 0.22µm pore structure provides precise bacterial retention while maintaining optimal throughput for aqueous solutions, pharmaceutical preparations, and environmental samples. Smoother and more uniform surface than pure nitrocellulose filters with enhanced color contrast facilitating particle detection and minimizing operator fatigue during extended analysis sessions.

• Biologically inert mixture of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate eliminates sample contamination and maintains sterile filtration integrity
• Exceptional flow rates through symmetrical structure with hydrophilic surface chemistry accelerating filtration cycles and maximizing laboratory productivity
• Optimized for microbiological analyses delivering reliable bacterial retention and colony recovery for water quality testing protocols
• Compatible with aqueous solutions (pH 4-8), hydrocarbons and organic solvents providing versatile chemical resistance for diverse applications
• Naturally low metal background ensures contamination-free results for trace analysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy

• 0.22µm pore size delivers bacterial sterilization capability while maintaining fast flow characteristics for high-volume processing
• 25mm diameter configuration accommodates standard filter holder systems and manifold assemblies for laboratory automation
• Hydrophilic and autoclavable construction enables pre-sterilization protocols and maintains wettability throughout extended operations
• Easily digested by dilute nitric acid making it ideal for atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis and elemental determinations
• White, plain surface optimized for phase contrast microscopy and visual particle detection applications

LE-IWT-MCE020025 filters achieve outstanding performance in clarification and sterilization of aqueous solutions, accelerating your analytical workflows while maintaining validated microbiological integrity. Meet NIOSH and OSHA method specifications for monitoring airborne metals¹, transforming these membranes into reference-grade collection media for environmental compliance and industrial hygiene applications. Standard choice for examination of water, wastewater, pharmaceuticals, foods, and beverages providing consistent performance for your critical quality control and regulatory testing requirements demanding both high flow rates and precise bacterial retention capabilities.
