Chemplus® MCE Membrane Filter
We offer a complete range of mixed cellulose ester membranes, with a wide choice of pore sizes (from 0.2 to 3 µm) and diameters. The membranes are also available in sterile format and/or with a grid pattern that provides guidance for the quantification of microbial colonies without growth inhibition or enhancement.
Mixed cellulose ester membranes are composed of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate. The membrane offers a high degree of internal surface area for greater product adsorption. Mixed cellulose ester membranes are biologically inert and are a popular membrane filter choice in analytical and research applications.
Features
■ Composition: Mixed cellulose esters including cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate, also known as nitrocellulose ■ High porosity provides superior flow rates ■ High protein binding can be blocked by pretreatment 0 r utili zed in applications ■ High purity: Triton-free ■ Autoclave: Withstands autoclaving temperatures up to 130°C w ithout adversely affecting bubble point, flowrate or microbiol ogical recovery ■ Rapid wetting time: <3 seconds to wet a 47mm diameter disc with aqueous 1% methylene blue buffers,or for vacuum dega ssing |
![]() Applications
■ Standard membranes for many laboratory applications includi ng filter sterilizing biological fluids, microbiology, contaminatio n analysis and air monitoring ■ Gridded filters available for quantifying microbial growth ■ Available non-sterile o r sterilized |
