Nylon Mesh Filters, 160 um, 47mm, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: ME17245

Nylon Mesh Filters - ME17245

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. Controlled mesh geometry provides defined particle separation at the filter surface, supporting quantitative analysis and reproducible screening operations. For this reason, precise mesh geometry promotes accurate particle classification and efficient sample preparation.

Key Nylon Mesh Characteristics

• A 43% open area provides efficient fluid passage through the mesh, reducing pressure drop and supporting rapid processing of large sample volumes.
• Square mesh openings woven from uniform monofilament strands maintain dimensional precision that ensures batch-to-batch reproducibility in particle classification.
• Naturally hydrophilic nylon surface wets immediately on contact with aqueous solutions without requiring pre-treatment with alcohol or surfactant rinses.
• Surface filtration captures particles at the mesh plane, enabling visual inspection of retained material and straightforward recovery through gentle backwashing.
• Monofilament thread diameter of 80 µm balances mechanical strength with open area to optimize both durability and flow performance.

Whether screening environmental samples or preparing solutions for downstream analysis, woven nylon mesh gives your workflow the particle control and flow efficiency it needs. Surface capture at the mesh plane allows you to visually inspect retained particles and recover them by backwashing for further characterization or analysis. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.

• Cascade Filtration - Provides coarse first-stage separation in multi-step filtration trains that progressively clarify sample solutions.
• Particle Classification - Separates suspended particles by size through defined mesh openings for quantitative distribution analysis.
• Solution Clarification - Removes visible particulates from buffers, media, and reagent preparations before downstream laboratory use.
• Automotive Cleanliness - Collects and classifies contaminant particles from component wash fluids per industry cleanliness standards.
• Industrial Screening - Removes oversized particles from process fluids and chemical solutions to protect equipment and product quality.
• Food Quality Control - Screens beverage and food samples to remove coarse matter before chemical and microbiological testing.
