Sterile Microbiological Filtration Monitor Unit, 0.45µm White Gridded MCE, 100mL, 50/Pk SKU: LE-MB-0027

Featuring sterile all-in-one microbiological monitoring technology delivering streamlined sample processing for bacterial enumeration applications. The 0.45µm Mixed Cellulose Ester gridded membrane achieves >90% microbial resurrection rates while eliminating transfer steps and manual handling through pre-assembled construction. EPA-approved membrane filtration methodology provides validated performance for environmental, pharmaceutical, and food safety microbiology protocols requiring colony counting precision.

Key MCE Membrane Characteristics

Mixed cellulose nitrate and acetate construction delivers superior flow rates with biological inertness for analytical applications
White gridded surface features 3.1mm spaced non-toxic grid lines facilitating accurate colony identification without inhibiting growth
0.45µm pore size optimized for bacterial retention in liquid monitoring from raw materials through finished products
Hydrophilic membrane spontaneously wets with aqueous solutions through surface tension forces enabling rapid sample processing
White background maximizes contrast for manual colony counting in water/wastewater and microbiological testing applications

Key Construction Characteristics

Pre-sterilized assembly combines 100mL filtration funnel with integrated petri dish eliminating contamination risk during setup
Built-in magnification lens in crystal polystyrene lid accelerates colony identification and enumeration procedures
Pre-loaded membrane with absorbent cellulose pad eliminates transfer steps while supporting optimal culture conditions
Includes 5 polypropylene manifold adapters accommodating various inlet configurations for flexible sampling protocols
Individual sterile wrapping maintains aseptic conditions while providing immediate use convenience without pre-sterilization requirements

LE-MB-0027 units deliver 77x51mm overall dimensions with 16mm dish height optimized for standard laboratory workflows, accelerating your sample-to-result cycles for high-throughput bacterial monitoring campaigns.
