MCE Membrane Filter, Hydrophilic, 0.8µm, 25mm, Nonsterile, NIOSH/OSHA Compliant - 100/pk SKU: LE-IWT-MCE080025

Featuring biologically inert mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane technology delivering superior surface uniformity and handling characteristics for critical analytical and environmental monitoring applications. Biologically inert mixtures of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate provide smoother and more uniform surface characteristics than pure nitrocellulose membranes, while hydrophilic surface chemistry enables spontaneous water wetting through capillary action for optimized aqueous solution processing. The 0.8µm pore configuration provides precise particulate retention with fast flow rates and exceptional thermal stability for demanding laboratory protocols.

• Naturally low metal background construction compatible with dilute bases, acids, and aromatic/aliphatic hydrocarbons ensures contamination-free results
• MCE matrix easily digested by dilute nitric acid making it ideal for atomic absorption spectroscopic (AAS) analysis
• Hydrophilic and autoclavable construction enables pre-sterilization protocols and aqueous compatibility
• High protein-binding capacity with strong thermal stability optimizes biological sample processing
• Uniform 0.8µm pore structure with accurate density regulation delivers reproducible loading capacity and medium-fast flow characteristics

• Standard 25mm diameter configuration accommodates universal filter holder systems and laboratory equipment
• Clean-edge processing ensures easy separation from packaging stack with minimal curl for streamlined handling
• Bright white nonsterile membrane provides visual clarity for microscopy and colony counting applications
• Pure surface construction with no additional smoothing treatments or surfactants maintains analytical purity
• 100 filters per package provide cost-effective laboratory supply for routine analytical protocols

LE-IWT-MCE080025 filters achieve exceptional performance for NIOSH Method 7300¹ and OSHA ID-121² compliant airborne metals collection and analysis, transforming these membranes into validated reference media for industrial hygiene monitoring. MCE pore structure collapses when exposed to acetone vapor offering minimal interferences in fiber counting applications, making these filters highly suitable for asbestos analysis per NIOSH 7400 and OSHA ID-160 protocols. Outstanding versatility for clarification, sterilization of aqueous solutions, cytology, yeast and mold concentration, HPLC sample preparation, and microbiological QA/QC applications delivers comprehensive analytical flexibility for your environmental and biological laboratory requirements.
