Syringe Filter MCE
Syringe Filter MCE
- Description: MCE syringe filter is a disposable, membrane-based device used primarily in laboratories for the sterile or non-sterile filtration of liquids
- Applications: Widely used in microbiological analysis, sample preparation, and protein or enzyme filtration.
- Material: Mixed cellulose ester (a blend of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate).
- Pore Sizes: Typically available in 0.22 µm (sterile filtration) and 0.45 µm (clarification) pore sizes.
- Diameter: Common sizes are 13 mm, 25 mm, and 33 mm depending on the sample volume.
- Hydrophilic: MCE is naturally hydrophilic, meaning it doesn’t need pre-wetting with alcohol for aqueous samples.
- Low protein binding: Useful for filtering biological samples without significant sample loss.
Description:
A Mixed Cellulose Ester (MCE) syringe filter is a laboratory filtration device used to remove particles or microorganisms from liquids before analysis. It’s a disposable filter unit that connects to the end of a syringe and is commonly used for filtering aqueous solutions. An MCE syringe filter is a disposable, membrane-based device used primarily in laboratories for the sterile or non-sterile filtration of liquids. “MCE” stands for Mixed Cellulose Ester, a common filter membrane material.
