Filter Membrane 0.45um 47mm Mixed Cellulose Ester
Stock:
10 - 19
Description
Mixed Cellulose Esters (MCE):
- 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 or utilised in applications.
- High purity: Triton-free
- Autoclavable: Withstands autoclaving temperatures up to 130c without adversely affecting bubble point, flow rate or microbiological recovery
- Rapid wetting time: <3 seconds to wet a 47mm diameter disc with aqueous 1% methylene blue
Applications:
- Standard membranes for many laboratory applications including filter sterilising biological fluids, microbiology, contamination analysis and air monitoring.
- Can be transparentised to view collected particles
- Using compatible liquid (immersion oil, toluene) or
- Select Opticlear membranes for the "hot block" acetone vapour method
- Gridded filters available for quantifying microbial growth

Notes:
- Bubble point is the minimum pressure required to force air through a membrane which has been preset with water.
- Flow rate indicates initial flow rate at 10psi using KGS47 filter holder
- Water: using water prefiltered to 0.1um pore size
- Air: using 25c air at 10psi
- Porosity refers to the precent open area.
