Nylon Mesh Filters, 255 um, 47mm, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: ME17242

Nylon Mesh Filters - ME17242

Woven monofilament nylon construction provides a mechanically robust filtration surface with uniform openings that deliver consistent particle retention and accommodate both aqueous and organic solvent applications. Woven nylon resists common organic solvents and alkaline solutions while maintaining dimensional stability through repeated filtration and cleaning cycles. Robust monofilament construction withstands repeated use and aggressive cleaning protocols.

Key Nylon Mesh Characteristics

• Nylon mesh withstands operating temperatures compatible with warm solvent filtration while providing excellent abrasion resistance during routine handling.
• Naturally hydrophilic nylon surface wets immediately on contact with aqueous solutions without requiring pre-treatment with alcohol or surfactant rinses.
• Woven from 120 µm diameter nylon monofilament, the mesh structure provides reliable tensile strength without excessive reduction in open area.
• Broad chemical compatibility accommodates filtration of organic solvents, alcohols, and alkaline solutions commonly encountered in pharmaceutical and industrial laboratories.
• Open area of 46% 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. Naturally hydrophilic nylon wets instantly in your aqueous solutions, so you can begin filtration immediately without pre-wetting steps that slow sample preparation. 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.
• Tissue Processing - Disperses dissociated tissue through calibrated mesh to produce single-cell suspensions for biological assays.
• Environmental Screening - Captures sediment, algae, and debris from field-collected water samples during initial preparation for monitoring.
• Solution Clarification - Removes visible particulates from buffers, media, and reagent preparations before downstream laboratory use.
• Sample Prefiltration - Removes coarse particles and debris from samples before fine secondary filtration to extend downstream filter life.
• Particle Classification - Separates suspended particles by size through defined mesh openings for quantitative distribution analysis.
