Hydrophilic MCE 0.45um, OD 47mm, pre-rinsed, 200pcs/Box SKU: SF8656

Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) Membrane Filters - SF8656

The Tisch SF8656 combines a controlled pore size distribution with low extractable levels, ensuring the data accuracy that sensitive analytical methods require. A uniform Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) matrix maintains its rated 0.45 cutoff under the pressures and flow conditions encountered during routine laboratory filtration. In effect, controlled production conditions produce membranes with documented pore size distribution and thickness tolerances, supporting method reproducibility across multiple filter lots.

Material Specifications

• Materials of construction maintain their mechanical and chemical properties at temperatures up to 60°C, supporting heated filtration protocols.
• Known for excellent wetting properties and high flow rates in aqueous filtration.
• Feature a uniform pore structure that provides consistent flow rates and high throughputs across the full range of standard pore size ratings.
• Bulk packaging format provides cost-effective access for high-volume laboratories performing non-critical filtration and sample preparation.
• Hydrophilic surface chemistry promotes rapid and uniform wetting across the full membrane area, delivering consistent flow from the first drop.

Reproducible particle counting starts with a membrane surface that captures particles uniformly. The pore consistency documented above ensures your counts reflect the sample, not filter variation. In particular, the high porosity of MCE membranes delivers flow rates that keep your sample throughput practical even at the tighter pore sizes used for bacterial retention and fine particle analysis. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.
