Nylon Mesh Filters, 280 um, 13mm, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: ME17186

Nylon Mesh Filters - ME17186

Surface filtration through precision-woven nylon monofilament delivers defined particle capture at the mesh plane, enabling efficient separation of macroparticles while preserving high flow rates for rapid processing. Naturally hydrophilic nylon monofilament wets on contact with aqueous solutions, eliminating pre-wetting requirements and reducing sample preparation time. With this in mind, robust monofilament construction withstands repeated use and aggressive cleaning protocols.

Key Nylon Mesh Characteristics

• Broad chemical compatibility accommodates filtration of organic solvents, alcohols, and alkaline solutions commonly encountered in pharmaceutical and industrial laboratories.
• Nylon mesh withstands operating temperatures compatible with warm solvent filtration while providing excellent abrasion resistance during routine handling.
• Excellent abrasion resistance protects mesh integrity during repeated handling, mounting, and backwash cleaning operations in high-throughput laboratory environments.
• Monofilament thread diameter of 140 µm balances mechanical strength with open area to optimize both durability and flow performance.
• Open area of 43% maximizes flow throughput while maintaining the mesh geometry needed for consistent particle retention at the rated opening size.

From high-volume prefiltration to targeted particle sizing, nylon mesh construction delivers the dimensional precision and reusability that keep your laboratory running efficiently. Chemical-free nylon construction gives you confidence that extractables from the filter will not interfere with your downstream analytical measurements or sample integrity. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.

• Automotive Cleanliness - Collects and classifies contaminant particles from component wash fluids per industry cleanliness standards.
• Sample Prefiltration - Removes coarse particles and debris from samples before fine secondary filtration to extend downstream filter life.
• Tissue Processing - Disperses dissociated tissue through calibrated mesh to produce single-cell suspensions for biological assays.
• Cascade Filtration - Provides coarse first-stage separation in multi-step filtration trains that progressively clarify sample solutions.
• Paint Filtration - Screens coating formulations to remove agglomerates and oversized particles before application or quality testing.
• Solution Clarification - Removes visible particulates from buffers, media, and reagent preparations before downstream laboratory use.
