MCE Membrane Filter, Hydrophilic, Nonsterile - 0.8µm, 47mm - 100/pk SKU: LE-IWT-MCE080047

Featuring biologically inert mixed cellulose ester technology delivering exceptional filtration performance for aqueous solutions, microbiological analysis, and air monitoring applications. Pure mixtures of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate create smoother, more uniform surface characteristics than traditional nitrocellulose membranes, providing superior handling integrity and reduced cracking during processing. Hydrophilic surface chemistry ensures optimal wetting and flow characteristics for water-based samples while maintaining non-toxic, hygienic performance standards.

• 0.8µm pore structure provides precise retention of bacteria, yeast, and particulates while optimizing flow rates for aqueous filtration
• Naturally low metal background with compatibility to dilute bases, acids, and aromatic/aliphatic hydrocarbons maximizes analytical accuracy
• Microporosity up to 80‰ with uniform penetrating micropores delivers consistent retention performance across the membrane surface
• Bright white coloration with accurate pore structure and highly regulated density ensures reproducible results in colony counting applications
• Easily digested by dilute nitric acid, making it ideal for atomic absorption spectroscopic (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis

• 47mm diameter with clean-edge processing ensures easy separation from filter stack and minimizes curl during handling
• Medium-fast flow rates with reproducible loading capacity accelerate processing while maintaining filtration integrity
• Autoclavable construction enables sterilization through steam, gamma irradiation, or ethylene oxide gas methods
• Low protein binding properties make it particularly suitable for life sciences applications involving protein samples
• 100-piece packaging provides convenient quantity for routine laboratory operations and quality control procedures

LE-IWT-MCE080047 filters achieve outstanding performance in clarification and sterilization of aqueous solutions, HPLC sample preparation, food and beverage microbiological QA/QC, and cytology applications. NIOSH and OSHA method specifications compliance¹ transforms these filters into validated reference media for airborne metals monitoring and fiber analysis, while exceptional chemical resistance enables reliable processing of diverse sample matrices. The standardized MCE composition delivers proven reliability for microbiological growth and colony counting methods, providing performance assurance for your critical analytical and research applications demanding both precision and regulatory compliance.
