Syringe Filters, 25 mm, MCE, 0.22 um porosity. Polypropylene, Antarisz Brand. 1000/CS.
Additional Info:
Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE) filters are widely used in various analytical and research applications due to their unique properties. These filters are composed of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate, making them biologically inert and highly effective for a range of filtration needs.
Features
Hydrophilic Nature: MCE filters are naturally hydrophilic, which allows for efficient filtration of aqueous solutions without the need for pre-wetting.
Uniform Pore Structure: They offer a smooth and uniform surface, which is ideal for consistent and reliable filtration results.
Autoclavable: These filters can be sterilized by autoclaving, making them suitable for sterile filtration applications.
Low Metal Background: MCE filters have a naturally low metal background, reducing the risk of contamination in sensitive analyses.
Applications
Industrial Hygiene: Commonly used for aerosol sampling in industrial hygiene due to their compatibility with dilute bases, acids, and various hydrocarbons.
Microbiological Analysis: Ideal for microbiological analysis, including the collection and enumeration of microorganisms.
Environmental Monitoring: Used in environmental monitoring for the collection of airborne particles and fibers, such as asbestos.
Analytical Chemistry: Suitable for use in analytical chemistry for the filtration of samples prior to analysis such as in HPLC.
Specifications
Material: Composed of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate.
Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of chemicals, including dilute acids and bases, and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Benefits
High Flow Rates: Ensures rapid filtration processes, which is essential for high-throughput applications.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from industrial hygiene to microbiological analysis.
Reliability: Provides consistent and reliable results due to its uniform pore structure and low background contamination.
MCE filters are a versatile and reliable choice for laboratories and industries requiring high-quality filtration. Their unique properties make them suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring efficient and effective filtration processes.
